Crystals come in a variety of shapes (see, for example, here and here), all of which are basically geometric shapes, so for an origami crystal, you just need polyhedra, such as in Montroll's A Constellation of Origami Polyhedra and A Plethora of Polyhedra in Origami, and probably any number of modular sources (I don't do modulars, so I don't know what sources are best). This really holds true as well for cut gemstones, as one would find in jewellery, which are not naturally occurring shapes.
