Kind of reminds me of muscovite. A little softer than calcite as far as hardness goes, 2 1/2. Check out the pics at Mindat here. A lot of variety.

fossilmanSome barites also grow this way. Slightly harder than muscovite. Not sure if you can zero in on hardness or not? ~Roland

Aragonite? Looks pretty similar.
