I'm not sure how much I have that is applicable to your specific application,
but here are the files in the Florilegium that I think might be useful:
In the ACCESSORIES section:
gem-sources-msg   (19K)  5/19/99    Sources for real and artifical
gemstones.  

In the CRAFTS section:
lapidary-msg      (21K)  9/17/99    Period and SCA gemstone cutting.
A-Lapidary-art    (32K)  3/31/99    Period descriptions and virtues of
gemstones 
                                       by Agnes deLanvallei.

In the TEXTILE ARTS section:
beadwork-msg      (40K)  7/13/98    Beadwork on clothing. Bead types, sources.
