Can anyone help me out...

This is a rock which was about the size of a softball when I first found it in Lucerne Valley California I sat on it for years and then I decided to bust it open and so now I have many fragments ..probably not the best idea considering how pretty it is...I’m not sure if it was originally from Lucerne considering there are a lot of rock hounds out there and I found it with many other rocks I plan on asking about as well...give me some ideas I thought maybe garnets and then I found a new mineral called Fluorcalciomicrolite and it’s very similar....thank u for any feedback.

I think you're on the right track with fluorite. I see a number of square faces, and right angles on the crystals.
