Although calcite reacts with HCl amazingly, this reaction is mainly used too identify limestone and dolostone in the field. my suggestion would be to use double refraction to identify calcite. By double refraction when light passes through calcite, it is split into two rays and is refracted twice. I would suggest to take a piece of paper and make a point with pencil, then place the calcite mineral on top of the point and see whether the point splits into two or not. If it does then it is calcite.
