"The idea is awesome, but the information was crushed into a paragraph when it deserved a page. What lives in there? What kind of crystals are there? What are they worth? If there's so many crystals just laying around, why aren't all the local people (those who haven't plunged to their death yet) living in houses made of money? Those questions and more sprang instantly into my mind, and I searched in vain for answers before finding out that there were none to be had."

Umm, I think you've missed the point of the gazetteer format, and the particular value of The Diamond Throne.

The point is, you're supposed to answer the questions YOURSELF. I don't know about you, but if you can answer all those questions, you've probably got a pretty nice setting and a few adventure ideas going. The Diamond Throne is meant to be a tool and an inspiration, rather than a book that lays everything out for you.
