Huh, how/why is it blue or even have a known color?
looks like the symbol might be Turkish in origin and *ward off* the evil eye... “A typical nazar is made of handmade glass featuring concentric circles or teardrop shapes in dark blue, white, light blue and black, occasionally with a yellow/gold edge” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazar_(amulet) …

Ohhhh I seee the mixup. From what I’ve known, people refer to them casually as an “evil eye”. For example, if I go to a store and ask for an evil eye bracelet, this is what they would show me. Though, I believe most people understand that it *wards off* the actual evil eye. 1/2

I suspect the blue is not symbolic of anything, just an artifact of a traditional middle-eastern glass staining technique or something.
