A primary knowledge about Rose Quartz vs Sapphire luster is useful in apparent identifications of these gemstones.

Since luster varies between two crystals of even the same gemstone, luster is limited to basic identification criteria. Rose Quartz exhibits Vitreous luster. Sapphire, on other hand, exhibits Vitreous and Adamantine luster.
