I don’t think that’s a new canon thing. The KOTOR games have that mechanic where certain Crystals allow for different Force related boosts. I remember from the second game that there’s a specific crystal that belongs specifically to you.
Star Wars Galaxies also featured unique crystals tied to specific Jedi that allowed you to have special traits/abilities once you “tuned” your character to it.
Those are only examples I know of, but I imagine that concept had to be explored in other Pre-Disney SW lore besides the ones I listed.
