Cluster Gems

"The Cluster" is a type of forced fusion of former Crystal Gems. It first appeared in "Keeping it Together".

Appearance
The Cluster appears to be comprised entirely of limbs conjoined together in a single body, wrapped in a grey cloth. At its core, the fusion is comprised of four different shattered gem shards that are physically fused together. It bears resemblance to a huge hand, with limbs for fingers. The Cluster's gemstone, located in the centre of its "palm", has ~4 different gem shards stuck together into one misshapen gemstone. The visible gem shards are green, yellow, blue, and purple.

History
Little is known about the Cluster's past, except that its component gem shards were parts of Crystal Gems shattered in the Gem War. This strongly impacts Garnet, as they used to be on the same team.

Trivia

 * FusionGemMonster.png method of fusion involved to make this monster was so horrifying to Garnet that she became unstable to the point where she almost defused.
 * It was forced to be fused together by Gem Homeworld.
 * The Cluster is the first forced fusion in the show.
 * The Cluster is the first fusion never to talk in the show.
 * The blue "leg" off to the left appears to have the same boots as Amethyst and Ruby.
 * The silhouettes of the Cluster members have traits similar to other gems on the show, most obviously Pearl's pilot hairstyle.
 * It should be noted that when the Gem fusion's body silhouette appears, each "body" seems to have a similar body type, and hair style, implying that the attempted forced fusion may have been somewhat successful, before they reformed into a limb-comprised hand.
 * When the Cluster's bubbled gem was sent back to the Temple, its gem reshaped itself to appear like the Centipeetle Mother's gem.

Gemology

 * A Cluster of gemstones is a result of gems that fuse together due to extensive pressure from being underground. In most cases clusters are usually fusions of the same gemstone, however in very rare cases it is possible for clusters to form from different gemstones.
