And yet the Cluster was specifically a collection of shards, stuck in the gound to grow into a (monsterous) new Gem.

If that works for a collection of shards, wouldn't it also work for a single shard?

The Guide to the Crystal Gems almost certainly does not reveal all information. I would take whatever it says with a grain of salt because they are not going to reveal secrets in it that are to be revealed later on the show. For example, what is the "Colorful Goo" stuff made from? It could be made from Shards.

But, as I said this is just what I think, I might be wrong.
