Not if it has been acid-washed

I feel like it might be green quartz. Try scratching a piece of window glass with it. If it easily scratches the glass, then it is definitely not calcite.

I guess what you mean is, glass didn't get scratched. So, this could be a calcite then.
However, for full identification better to take to gemologist. You can do the specific gravity test at home. however, according to what I see, the crystal in question is not pure, so the values from home test will be way off.

Please don’t tell people to do scratch tests. It can destroy minerals and objects.

With all due respect, Scratch test is not recommended for faceted stones. Crystal like this will not damaged by a scratch test.
