It looks very similar to dumortierite in rose quartz. That said I have gotten different results cabbing sheeny lemon quartz (which this resembles) vs rose quartz. Rose quartz tends to produce a 6 ray star, while lemon quartz produced an n-ray star, maybe 24 legs? So many I had trouble counting. Pretty diffuse and best seen with transmitted light.

Thank you and I agree with you. It seems that only lemon quartz can produce 18 ray star, but rose quartz can sometimes produce 12 ray star(just very rare). Found some pics online:
