Description:
A fragmented crystal discovered during 2019 investigations of the Russell House Kitchen House. The crystal was wedged tightly between the end of an original floorboard and the first period masonry wall in the east enslaved quarter of the Russell House Kitchen House. One end identifies it as a chandelier or girandole crystal. The other end, however, shows evidence of a percussive strike, evidence it was intentionally struck one or more times to shape it into a crude point.
