Here are some pictures of the Calcite finds that Dave and I found this last weekend in southeast Colorado.
Unknown mineral found in a Calcite vein. It it very fragile and made of tiny red cubes. Our best guess is Hematite after Pyrite. -------------------- |

It looks like it could be Hematite or Marcasite formations on your Calcite James. Both are iron minerals and get rusty looking on the surface.
Here are some pics of the Calcite I have found the last few weekends while hunting for Barite. -------------------- |
