The in-game description of the material reads:

"Osidion at The Foregrounds in Dornogal would be interested in trading for this."

While this does not reveal the item's purpose, all you need to know is that it is used to obtain cosmetic sets for transmogs. Head to Dornogal and locate Osidion (the Ensemble Quartermaster) at 57,61. You can trade the gems to buy cosmetic gear for transmog.

If you want to purchase more, you can buy the remaining sets for 9,750 Radiant Crystals each.
