looks like pink quartz

Well, it's definitely quartz but, although there are some pinkish areas, it looks to be mostly orange if the colour in the pictures is an accurate rendition. Usually that's termed "tangerine quartz" in the rock & gem world, although yours is not gem quality.

Rose quartz has a pale pink to rose-red hue, with the colouration derived from traces of titanium, manganese or iron. Orange hues are due to iron oxide impurities such that a 'massive' deposit might contain gradations of both colours (and/or other colours too).
