Flourine would set your teeth on fire. Fluorine reactions are exciting and dangerous!

A crystal (CaF2) has a regular (crystalline) structure that repeats. It is a very different thing to a glass which is an amorphous solid. How this has any impact on refracting elements in a telescope I have no idea!
