Well, the shards can be turned into clusters, which are probably the remains of different gems that died in the war/the rebellion (or previous unknown wars). Clusters were probably an experiemnt of an easy way to create 'bad gems'. So basically gems 'don't' die, because their gems are destroyed by smashing it into shards or some other decompisition method, or they could use said decomposition methods to fully erase the gems.
