Grrr...you found me out!
Apparently Feanor had his apprentices make some small-scale models in imitation of the stones he made himself. Don't ask me how they survived all the cataclysms of the intervening ages, but occasionally they're still sold as marbles at car-boot sales - that's where I got mine. Works perfectly, but it hurts your eyes trying to read a book in it.

Speaking of books:
Which person of royalty was famous for making books with his own hands?
