Unfortunately it's never really been mentioned as all we have to go on is the job quests for WHM and those follow a 'chosen one' format that doesn't really apply well to RP.
In my case, 'Sage' as I refer to her (I haven't come up with a proper Padjal name for her yet, explains Vetiver's chosen name anyway) based her inclinations to teach Vetiver purely off of character judgement. She was a rarity, though, very eccentric like A-Towa-Cant and none too keen on the stuffiness of Padjal tradition.
If you do go down this path, another direction you could take with it is that the teachings have to be earned, not unlike a classic martial arts film. Could be a lot of fun, actually!
Oh, and on the subject of crystals: they can either be found, or gifted to. The latter is what I went with for my own character; Sage passed hers on to Vetiver just moments before her inevitable death.

Because, to the best of my knowledge, there is only one Bard shown in-game, right? I don't mean bards as in traveling music performers. I mean "Bard" the Moogle-music-magic-wielding Archer Job. There is the Godsbow who teaches our "Warriors of Light" to be Bards, but anyone else? Yet, we assume there are other Bards in-game that we don't see. Could it be the same for Padjal?
This has always been my take. Clearly there's more of these characters out there, we're simply only shown the important ones needed for the sake of progression.
