Anton,
The only 'fifteen' set that comes immediately to mind is the "fifteen stars" which were the standard basic list of fixed stars taught in medieval Europe.
Also known as the Behenian stars.
These days you see them mostly mentioned in relation to magic, but they weren't originally "magic' stars, One online source for their connection to stones is
Anne Lawrence-Mathers, Carolina Escobar-Vargas, Magic and Medieval Society,
which refers to the Liber Sigillorum from the 12thC onwards.
Another text was the Quartripartitum Hermetis giving 15 groups composed of a stone, a star, a herb and an image. That must have been pretty widely known because it becomes part of a kind of parlour game played in noble courts.
