Nazar

This is a Nazar or an evil eye stone given to me by my friend Sarah from Turkey. This amulet is meant to protect against evil eye...or the belief that the envy of fortunate people will eventually lead to their misfortune. There are many stories that are associated with these objects: here - here and here. Along with the good protection they bring, they are also beautiful ornaments for ones house.
