The yellow crystals are explained in the game as crystallized Aether. Aether is crystallized in large formations like this when a large number of people/animals/living things die all at once. So these giant crystals are basically mass graves' tombstones when you think about it. A ton of people died at the battle of Carteneau when Bahamut went berserk, that's why they appeared around that time.
It sounds like you're talking specifically about corrupted aether, which are the yellow/orange crystals. But yes, the solidification of mass aether loss is how crystals in general are formed. Here's the lore on both:

Hope this helps! ^^
