@imhotep168 Sorry for being unclear: since the Jonquilyst crystal is rare and hard to find in gameplay, I suspected that you did not try in a completely new folder; but moved your old save, where you had access to the crystal, into the newly created The Sims 4 user folder. But now it seems like you did create a new folder, and used buydebug to get access to a Jonquilyst crystal. Cheats aren't in your original bug report - and they are cheats - and not part of actual gameplay; and not supported in the same way.
I did try though, but noticed no difference before and after wearing the crystal crown mounted with Diamond bought from the computer; and Jonquilyst crystal obtained through cheats. The Jet crystal, like you said, had the effects stay, once the crown was removed.
I will leave the thread to crinrict now though.
Don't know if this helps, but...
Don't use the Crystal Crown much, but I have a Scientist/Archeologist who has all the crystals plus a cloning machine. He sometimes uses the crown. My impression of how it works is that when you take it off, needs go to where they would have been had your Sim not been wearing the crown, not to where they were when it was first put on. It's a moodlet delayer rather than a moodlet solver.
Not to say there are no glitches.
I haven't done a real test, but my impression of the Crystal Crown is that it's intended to be goofy so maybe it's effects and aftereffects are meant to be unpredictable. Not really clear.
Maybe it's just glitchy.
If I have time this coming weekend I'll look at it more carefully.

This is what Carl's Guide had to say about the Crystal Crown:
"Note that when motives fill, they are simply set at 100. When the effect is removed, they'll go back part way to where they were before you used the filling effect. Use these effects to extend your Sim's active time and deal with needs later. Great for a quick performance if your needs are low and you're in a rush."
He also has a video on the crown.

Will check out the needs crystals this weekend to see what's what.

New Sims folder, new Save, new Sim.
I had him join the Scientist Career. The Science lot is a good place to dig up crystals. I only tested crystals found in the world or bought from the computer. For the most part they seem to work as Carl's Guide suggests needs drop back when you remove the crown. The caveat is that sometimes they drop back a lot. They also break or run out, but there's no notification when this happens. You can see their power level by looking at the lights on the crown. Removing the crown while the lights are still green seems to give the best results. Crystals recharge while in the inventory.
Some of the crystals - e.g. Amazonite - don't work as described. (I realized too late that I should have done a spreadsheet. But Carl's Guide has them all listed with their effects.) Amazonite says it fills all needs except energy, but seems instead to fill hunger.
For filling needs - and not dropping too far back when the crown is removed - the GT crystals work best. They also require a trip (or several) to Sixam. For that you need to invent the portal to Sixam or upgrade the rocket ship and go through a wormhole.
I think the crystals are working more or less as intended.
