This large shard of matrix was loose in the pocket, allowing sparkly calcite crystals as well as a patch of transparent yellow ones to form all over it. But the main thing here is the 2.2-cm, light teal-blue fluorite, with its complex crenellated edges and internal purple phantom. The edges look less white and "crusty" in person - what you are seeing is the blocky edge growth patterns and some tiny calcites that have formed in the recesses. Near the large crystal is a very sharp and pretty little purple phantom.
