I'm so sorry, Scarlet. This would upset me as well. Especially because she accepted it at first. I also think crystals are a pretty common thing and wouldn't necessarily suggest she was into them unless she had a whole display. It's not like, say, you were trying to get her to display a crucifix when she's Jewish. Plus, like you said, it wouldn't even be on display. I hope you're able to work through it.

I've only given my T one thing for his office, a small shell that I found on the beach. I asked him if it would be OK to add to his small sand tray thing, and he said yes, as long as he found it to be "aesthetically pleasing" (so he could have refused it, though, I mean, it was a small white shell--what could possibly be offensive about it?).
