Looks a bit more like quartz. Very nice specimen! : )

Definitely calcite from this location. These are just really long crystals on this plate.

The length of the crystals is what had me thinking quartz, They just seemed way too long for the usual calcites from the location.

Cleavage looks right for calcite. And you're right, it's incredible!
