ID on Sea Glass found at Elbow Cay, Bahamas

I would have uploaded this sooner, but I only just found this site recently. :)

Last July, I was on Elbow Cay, a very small island in the Bahamas. There was amazing sea glass there!

The most unusual thing I found was this clear, solid, almost teardrop-shaped piece!

It's slightly ridged outside the perimeter, and the bottom was broken off at some point and formed a sort of inverted cone.

I have no idea what this thing could have come from! My best guess is maybe a chandelier of some sort?

There were many shipwrecks nearby because of a coral reef.

Does anyone know where this piece of glass might have come from?

Looks like what's left from a glass fishing float. Stu Farnsworth is a renowned collector and seeker of these gems.
