I'm a big fan on Gemology, and since i got into Steven Universe, i've looked into the gemology of the gems of the show. Here are some interesting possible connections between Rose Quartz's gemology and the show

1. Most caches of Rose Quartz are found in large amounts, and large pieces, which is interesting considering how large Rose is

2. Sometimes Rose Quartz features asterism, which gives it the affect of having a six point "star" inside it when polished. This may be why a rounded version of the common star symbol is the symbol used by the crystal gems.



3. The fan theory that Rose is in fact Pink diamond could be supported by the gemology of Rose Quartz, since Quartz is the hardest of commonly found gems, and only rare gems (like diamond) are harder than it

4. The pink diamond theory could be further supported by the common uses of Rose Quartz. Roses gem appears faceted, however it is far more common for rose quartz to be tumble polished or made into a cabochan.

So, thoughts on these? expansions? Corrections?
