We have also seen Garlean pureblood defectors. I do not see why a Garlean could not be chosen to have the echo based on these criteria

However, as said before, this item would not turn the PC into a real Garlean, it would just be used for roleplay which is usually separate from the MSQ events, or to be used as a forehead decoration/gem
Pureblood garleans have no aetheric affinity I think? Having the blessing of light, let alone being a chosen of Hydalaen would be out of the question. Nor do I recall any true-blood garleans that pertain to the above.

Sure you can have a forehead gem could glamour, but trying to roleplay as a pureblood garlean is just smacking lore right in the face with the above in consideration.
