First.... The show staff confirmed her Gem Type, and Peridot has also confirmed that Steven is a Quartz and she has no prior knowledge of Rose and so would not know to hide such as fact of Rose Quartz actually being a Diamond. Second Rose's Gemstone has a similar facet to other Quartz Gems like Amethyst, and her Gemstone does not look anything like a diamond for it is circular not Diamond shaped like the Diamonds we have seen so far. Thirdly Rose's shield is not indestructible, as it may and theorised to carry a property to disrupt Gem magic as seen in Ocean Gem when hit it released a resonance and in concordance destroyed the Water Clones, and furthermore Gem Weapons are summoned by the Gem and powered by the Gem and since Rose is a warrior Gem her summoned weapon will be stronger than one of a Pearl or Corundum Gem. Finally Rose's form shows that she is a Quartz as she carries a similar build structure to every other pure Quartz we've seen, and as Peridot states Shapeshifting requires a significant amount of Energy and this would be hard to keep up during battle, and how would Rose keep this form and make it carry over to her fusions? When she fuses it takes her true form and combines it with another Gem even if she did shapeshift smaller when she fuses she'd lose control of this and would revert to an original size of what your suggesting to be a Diamond...
