A clear quartz crystal. The crystal is hexagonal conjoined with a subsidiary twin.
The tip of the crystal is damaged, with lots of small dinks on the damaged tip this may have been caused by deliberate retouch, although it may be natural.
The flint material of Porth Y Rhaw is mostly from residual contexts. Although none of the flint items clearly indicate a specific age, a broadly Mesolithic attribution seems highly likely considering how they correspond to other Mesolithic sites in the vicinity.
