What do you think a Silmaril looked like?
I'm really intrigued with the idea of the Silmarils; gems made of a mysterious substance and held the light of the two trees in them. They must have been something special for them to spawn all the violence and suffering that followed their making. What do you think they looked like? Personally, I see them looking kind of like a shard of magicite from Final Fantasy VI (I know! I'm so unimaginitive!).

Isil was first wrought and made ready, and first rose into the realms of the stars, and was the elder of the new lights, as was Telperion of the Trees. Then for a while the world had moonlight, and many things stirred and woke that had waited long in the sleep of Yavanna. The servants of Morgoth were filled with amazement, but the Elves of the Outer Lands looked up in delight; and even as the Moon rose above the darkness in the West, Fingolfin let blow his silver trumpets and began his march into Middle Earth, and the shadows of his host went long and black before them.
