"these are called nazarlik....it protects you from the devil eye..every turkish family has got one in their home...also they use it as a jewelery..you can see them everywhere...as i read one it is coming from an ancient civilisation called hitit..i saw them in Greece and middle orient countries like Jordan ,Syria ect..they believe if there is a devil eye on you like somebody is jealous about you these stones will break and devil eye will go away...believe it or not:))"
