Well, it's not so much at the fringe of science as at it's frayed edge!
They are supposed to respond to changes in skin temperature, which in turn is affected by blood flow to surface capillaries, which in turn is supposed to be affected by emotional state.
So, a load of dingo's kidneys, really. But if you think about it, it's not so far removed from the theory of the polygraph lie-detector, that a lot of people, including police and intelligence agencies, take very seriously. Scary, eh?

They work by effort justification and rationalization.
For the wearer, believing that the color is reflective of their mood actually affects their mood. More so if they paid a lot for the stone not just in terms of money, but in terms of time spent discussing the effectiveness and variety of the moods "described" by the stone.
The basis isn't really scientific, but it is psychological.
