All I can recall from the slog of getting them (before the upped drop rate, mind you) was that they used the Earth zodiac instead of whatever constellations are in Eorzea, which was odd (Crab being Cancer, Scales being Libra, etc.). I more or less attributed it to the fact that the same zodiac was used in FFT, but now I'm wondering if there's something deeper there.
... Still miss Atma Weapon, though. He was neat-looking.
EDIT: You're right there's very little information, though. Most folks seem to be just trying to get through it to the next step in the Zodiac Weapon story. All I can really find is the quest log stuff, and even then it doesn't specify where the crystals come from. Just that they ARE crystals.

According to the alchemist, your weapon can be raised to new heights of power through the use of crystalline objects he calls atma.
