Quartz has nothing to do with diamonds, it is merely crystalline silica- same major constituent as glass. Some quartz is coloured, eg Rose Quartz, but these colours only occur as a result of trace transition metal salt impurities. Pure silica appears colourless or white.

Quartz is a mineral compound which comes from a volcanic reaction. It can come in a wide variety of colors due to the infiltration of a wide variety of minerals. The two most prominent colors are rose and white. Quartz is defined by its crystal structure.
