Some of it came right from the game's guidebook! The author (Christy Marx) had used one of the encyclopedias of women's folklore/magic/etc. (I can't remember the source off the top of my head) for much of what she used in the game. So my first basis for it comes from there. Since then, though, a lot has just come from talking to people at rock shops. The citrine for good health connection actually comes from chakra points, so it's out of that tradition rather than a European/medieval lore. Crystal lore at this point seems to be all mixed up from all over the world -- something that intrigues me, if only because, as far as I can tell, the different lores seem to mesh reasonably well. :)
