Even standard quartz can have a color association.

imperfections in your average quartz crystal (which almost all raw crystals have) are a milky white color. While a certain variety (rock crystal) is perfectly clear, it is still prone to imperfections that take on a whitish color.

Therefore, your argument of quartz not having a specific color is invalid.
