Synthetic Clusters

Synthetic Clusters are a form of Cluster Gem created specifically for the use of practically indefinite torture. Cluster Gems most commonly consist of captured Crystal Gems and/or Corrupted Gems. Clusters created from an uncorrupted and a Corrupted Gem tend to suffer more, while clusters created from gems in the same family tend to suffer less, i.e Sapphires w/ Rubies, Spinels w/ Spinels, etc.
== Creation ==
Synthetics are created by Verdelite, who is able to create pressurized bubbles. The pressure from these bubbles is enough to force two gemstones together, creating a Synthetic Cluster. Clusters may take decades to form, but can't be left in a bubble for too long or they may become "perfect" clusters.
== Synthetic Cluster Types ==
=== Unstable ===
Unstable Synthetics are often an amalgam of two different Gems that have not and will never successfully fuse into a single Gem type. They are often both colors of their component Gems and look like their component Gems are just stuck together in random places.
=== Semi-Stable ===
Semi-Stable Synthetics are synthetics that have only partially fused into a single Gem type. They have less deformities than unstable synthetics, but more than "perfect" synthetics.
=== "Perfect" ===
"Perfect" Synthetics that are able to permanently fuse into a single Gem type are incredibly stable compared to other clusters, albeit rare and with some deformities. Gems of the same type often achieve this due to having the same crystal structure, but placing Gems of the same type in the same bubble is avoided when necessary because of this, and time left in the bubble also affects the likelihood of this happening.
