layered crystals specimen what is this

This rock or mineral? specimen appears to have 2 layers and looks like its made up of crystals. This was in a rock collectors collection in Texas so I don't know where it comes from.  It's very heavy weighing exactly 2 pounds and measures about 5 inches long x 3 inches wide x 2 inches tall.  What is this?  Or is there a website that will help me id it? Just a person who likes rocks.  rock.jpgrock2.jpgrock4.jpg

Looks like calcite to me.

Test with a few drops of distilled vinegar,

if you get bubbles, its likely calcite.
