Hardness, colour, streak, cleavage, luster, crystal shape, to name a few.
You can use hardness(Moh's Hardness Scale), luster, shape, and fracture to identify quartz.
Diamonds can be most any colour, including many shades of brown.The luster of diamond is adamantine to waxy.The crystal system of diamond is isometric - 4/m bar 3 2/m with crystal habits of isometric forms (cubes and octahedrons).

You can test its hardness on other minerals to find it hardness. It can help classify it better.
