I think the green gem's element is not really "labour", but rather "time". Both are very interchangeably, because labour is often accounted for time worked. Anyway, my reasoning in this is because the amulet cuts the time you need to craft something in half, and the staff deconstructs objects into their original components, so, making them comeback to what they were before being crafted (only exception to this are gems, except that that is a game mechanic to stop abusing the staff in order to get infinite green staffs).

This is more true when we think that the orange gem element is "space", not "lazyness", and it actually makes more sense: you literally teleport objects to you  (with amulet)  or teleport yourself somewhere (with staff), all of those are tied to "space", you also walk faster with the staff, meaning you traverse a higher distance over time (so, more space than time).

Of course, this is just a theory.
