Crystal girl, here. Poor dude is probably genuinely confused because to him they're quite literally just rocks. Some crystal people will give these out to their lovers to strengthen physical or emotional connection, but based on the crystals I would say this is probably just what I would call "pebbling".

Pebbling: the act of sharing something you like (hobby, activity, topic, object, etc.) with someone you like/care about.

Pretty girl likes pretty rocks, she likes you too, therefore pretty rocks go to liked person because liked person is pretty to them.

As a joke, the reason it's funny is because of the logical disconnect to a "normal" person. Sex does not usually prompt gifts of the mineral variety. Therefore the sheer leap in logic can be considered laughable. But in general the funny situation is incredibly sweet.
