A calcite crystal comes in a variety of sizes and shapes. There are some that do look like a diamond to the naked idea but you can tell that they are different if you look closely.

What is aragonite and what is it use for?

What strategy would allow you to determine clear calcite is not the same as quartz?
A small drop of hydrochloric acid or vinegar would fizz on calcite, not on quartz.Also, quartz has a Mohs hardness of 7 whereas calcite has a hardness of 3. Quartz doesn't have cleavage but calcite has rhombohedral cleavage (skewed square). If the piece of mineral breaks along perfect lines, then it's most likely calcite not quartz. One more thing, if you put the clear calcite on print, like that in a book, you will see a double image through the crystal, an example of double refraction.
What does a diamond crystal look like?
The "ideal" diamond crystal is called an octohedron. If you take two - four sided pyramid shapes and put them together at the base, that's an octohedron.
