Curious, I decided to post a picture of it online to see if anyone knew what it was.
The comments started rolling in immediately. Some people had guesses that were just as wild as mine, but very quickly, a consensus formed.
As it turns out, this mysterious crystal object is a knife rest.
For those who aren’t familiar (which definitely included me!), a knife rest is a small, often decorative object used to keep the dirty blade of a carving or table knife from touching the surface of the table. You place it at your setting, and after you cut your meat, you lay the knife across it so you don’t stain your lovely lace tablecloth.
