No idea about the veracity of it, but it sounds almost like it's a dark matter/gravitational analogue to the piezo electric effect. That's a very interesting idea, it'd create a signal from a dark matter partical (assuming they are particals) interacting gravitationally and disrupting the crystal temporarily.
