It is now later. And by "Yes" I mean, changing what rocks/crystals are created when a world is generated requires you to generate a new world.

I found my rock crystals in a layer of Diorite, directly under a layer of Dolomite (baby!) right next to a vein of native gold, and directly across from them, on the other side of the gold was a cluster of rose quartz. A pretty little hole in the ground if ever there was one.

Yes, I noticed that diorite had a tendency to spawn rock crystal too, just like gabbro. It's probably due to there being no small_cluster-formations (as far as I can remember) of anything but gems in those layers. Granite that has pockets of bismuthinite has absolutely no crystals.
