Very cool bit-end. Nice form/shape too. Clearly it was utilized. Is it Hematite?

Sure looks like a celt. It's not "too small", I've found intact celts as small as 1 1/2" in length.

When I think of celts I think of the larger heavier wood falling type...it has the bit characteristics..its about 3/8" thick definently for more delicate work.
