  Silmaril - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tolkien's legendarium, the Silmarils (Quenya Silmarilli) are three fictional sacred objects in the form of brilliant star-like jewels which contained the unmarred light of the Two Trees.
The Silmarils were made out of the crystalline substance silima by Fëanor, a Noldorin Elf, in Valinor during the Years of the Trees.
It was later taken by Eärendil to the Valar in the West as a token of repentance.

Fëanor was furious at Melkor and at the Valar's perceived desire to take the gems for their own purposes, and, swearing that he and his sons would not rest until the Silmarils were recovered, he led the Ñoldor back to Middle-earth.
This stone was later taken by Eärendil to the Valar in the West as a token of repentance.
Thus the Silmarils remained in all three elements of Arda -- in the sky, soil and water.

During the First Age, one Silmaril alone was recovered from Morgoth's Iron Crown by Beren and Lúthien, and was borne by Eärendil when he sailed into the West to seek the aid of the Valar.
By virtue of the Silmaril, it is said, Eärendil reached Aman and was heard by the Valar, who sent a mighty force into Middle-earth.
Morgoth was utterly defeated, and the Silmarils recovered.

The Silmarils respond in kind to those who bear them; they "suffer" the hands of Beren and Eärendil to carry them because their hearts are good, whereas Morgoth, Carcharoth, and Maedhros are burned by the jewels' touch because their intentions are evil.
The Silmarils were the Jewels of Arda, and their being was as separate from Feanor as a father was from his son.
Silmarils, one of the most popular rock bands on the current French music scene, have experimented with a broad range of styles in the course of their career, experimenting with everything from heavy metal to groove, techno and pop influences.

At it's heart, though, the story of the Elves is the story of the Silmarils, a trio of gems which stand at the center of the tragedy and the majesty that is the story of Arda and the Elves.
Yet that crystal was to the Silmarils but as is the body to the Children Ilúvatar: the house of its inner fire, that is within it and yet in all parts of it, and is its life.
Therefore even in the darkness of the deepest treasury the Silmarils of their own radiance shone like the stars of Varda; and yet, as were they indeed living things, they rejoiced in light and received it and gave it back in hues more marvellous than before.

And it is told of Maglor that he could not endure the pain with which the Silmaril tormented him; and he cast it at last into the Sea, and thereafter he wandered ever upon the shores, singing in pain and regret beside the waves.

However, story-wise, Silmarils are not actually fighting against a minion, but, rather, the minion is trying to seize the Silmaril for his master Morgoth.
If the number of waning tokens on a Silmaril equals its Potency, then it is immediately lost forever to the world and the Free Peoples player loses the game (just as if the Ring-bearer had taken wounds equal to his vitality).
If, while the Silmaril is in the hands of the enemy, it loses burdens so that the number of burdens are less than its Oath Number, the Silmaril immediately returns to the Free Peoples player’s Fellowship.

 Guide to the Silmarillion-Stories of Elves and Men: Eärendil the Mariner
As they sailed farther West, the light of the Silmaril grew brighter, and it was most likely by the power of that holy jewel that they came in time to waters that no vessels of Middle-earth had known, and they came to the Enchanted Isles and escaped enchantment.
This is how it came to pass that the Silmarils found their everlasting homes: one in the heavens as a star, one in the fires at the heart of the world, and one in the waters.
The sons of Eärendil and Elwing were given the same choice as their parents; Elrond chose to remain with the Elves, and he became the wisest of the Elves, and he established Rivendell.

While most of In Silmarils music is produced on electronic instruments, there are also some acoustic elements and of course vocals.

While the combined resources of Huan and Beren saved Thingol and were able to take the Silmaril from the beast’s belly, neither survived: Beren died in Luthien’s arms, and she died of sorrow soon thereafter, going to the Halls of Mandos where she’d bade him to await her.
Yet the Silmaril remained in Thingol’s care, set in the Nauglamir, and soon awakened the lust of all and the curse of Mandos, until King Greymantle was slain by the dwarven craftsmen who set the combined the jewels.
When this piece of news reached Tor Galen where he dwellt, Beren led his host and recovered the jewel, which is said to have shortened his and Luthien’s days, for the sight of her wearing the Silmaril was too fair for mortal eyes.

 Ruin of Doriath
As they presented the work to Thingol, the lust and charm of the Silmaril overcame the Dwarves, and they decided they should take the Silmaril for themselves, under the excuse that the Nauglamir was not made for Thingol.
Mablung, a valiant soldier of Doriath, sent a messenger with the Silmaril to Beren and Luthien in Ossiriand before he died defending Menegroth, because of this act, Beren was able to ambush the Dwarves on the return to Nogrod as they crossed the Gelion with a force of Green Elves, but Doriath was lost.
Beren took the Nauglamir with the Silmaril, and his wife, Thingol’s daughter, Luthien, wore it, and eventually it made its way back to Valinor, but that is another tale.

The silmaril i think would be a tad smaller, however.
The only thing I could come up with that isn't totally positive is that I've always imagined the Silmarils to be smaller: all three of them should be able to wear "on one's brow" or what now was said about Fëanor.
