Gem types are decided on a case-by-case basis considering the differences between all Quartzes (macrocrystaline like Amethyst, microcrystaline like Jasper and Carnelian, and other more specific varieties like Agates) vs Beryls (Emeralds and Aquamarines) and Corundums (Rubies and Sapphires).

However, since in the show all Gems based on irl quartz varieties have looked the same way and have the same coruupted forms, it is extremely unlikely that this Gem is supposed to be an Aventurine Quartz.
