I think clearly Gimli's cystal encasement of Galadriel's lock is no more a Silmaril than the vial given to Frodo.

But I've always wondered about the Arkenstone.

At least it seems to be a "working-man's" version of Silmaril, apparently obtained from more natural means than Feanor's manufacturing process.
