On one hand, the cluster's music theme is called "Gem Shards" and Garnet states that "These were Crystal Gems, shattered into pieces."

On the other hand, the  look complete and not like, and the  that attempt to reform are complete bodies unlike the limbs that gem shards create. I'm guessing that they probably just took all the shards they could find and just sort of glued them together (there appears to be some kind of goop between the big Cluster's Gemstones).

I'm guessing that they'd probably get better results if they had all the pieces and were trying to heal shattered Gems instead of just making big dumb cannon fodder monsters.

I'm guessing that if Yellow Diamond got shattered, the Homeworld would probably be able to put her better together almost as good as new.
