Phial of Galadriel

The Phial of Galadriel was a gift given by the Elf-queen Galadriel to Frodo Baggins as a light to use in dark places.The Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring, Book Two, Ch. VIII: "Farewell to Lorien"
== History ==
The Phial of Galadriel was a crystal phial filled with water from Galadriel's fountain which encased some of the light of Eärendil's star: the light of the Two Trees of Valinor, which had been preserved in a Silmaril long before Eärendil's lifetime.
Frodo Baggins received the Phial from Galadriel before the departure of the Fellowship of the Ring from Lothlórien, on February 16, TA 3019.
Many weeks later, Frodo used the mere touch of it to ease the thought of the One Ring while he, Sam Gamgee, and Gollum were watching the Witch-king lead his army out of Minas Morgul. He also used it while entering Mordor to defend himself from the spider Shelob in her dark lair: when she first approached the hobbits, Sam reminded Frodo of the "star-glass", and its light drove her away. Frodo gave the phial to Sam to hold while he cut through Shelob's webbing, and later, Sam wielded it when he attacked Shelob to rescue Frodo. The star-glass shone particularly bright in response to Sam's indomitable spirit. He used it twice to get past the Two Watchers guarding the Tower of Cirith Ungol.The Lord of the Rings, The Two Towers, Book Four, Ch. VIII: "The Stairs of Cirith Ungol"The Lord of the Rings, The Two Towers, Book Four, Ch. IX: "Shelob's Lair"
Toward the end of their quest, Sam attempted to use the Phial's light in the Crack of Doom, but it was subdued by the power of the heart of Sauron's realm. After the destruction of Sauron and the One Ring, the Phial was one of the items found on Sam when he and Frodo were rescued by the Eagles; Gandalf kept both it and Sam's box of Earth safe while the two hobbits were being healed, after their collapse on the side of Mount Doom.
The Phial of Galadriel seemed to inspire its bearers to call out to Elbereth, who was the Vala Varda, as both Frodo and Sam called out in Elvish while wielding it. Additionally, Frodo called out "aiya Eärendil elenion ancalima!" the first time he used the Phial against Shelob. Though Frodo did not understand these words, they were in reference to Eärendil, and translate as "hail Eärendil, brightest of stars!" from Quenya.
At the end of the Third Age, the Light of Earendil went to the Uttermost West with Frodo.
