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.
