Got it. But the reason I am a stickler about it being an eye is because it *is* an eye. May not be shaped like one the way we perceive it, but the eye aspect (and it being blue specifically) is an integral part of the mysticism of the Hand of Fatima. I think I dislike the regular eye shape because of my favorite hand charm that I got a a belly dance event years n years ago, which has a huge round piece of lapis that takes up almost the entire palm. It's really pretty, and I'm sure you've seen it (actually, I had Edric wear it during the first Crown that he won for me), though you probably don't remember it. So, since I love that one so much, it has shaped my preference aesthetically. :)
(I know the grammar in that entire paragraph is hideous.)
