You know we're told that Varda hallowed the Simarils so that they would burn anything evil who touched them, but honestly I'm very suspicious of it. Cause like, we're told they burned Morgoth, and we're told that they burned Maedhros and Maglor, and yet there's no mention of them burning Thingol. Which makes no sense. You cannot convince me that Thingol would not have been burned by it if it burns evil. Thingol who despite his claims of being king of all of Beleriand, hid away behind his wife's magic and did nothing to help the people outside of Doriath despite claiming dominion over them; who refused to let refugees pass through his realm which caused tons of them to die; who sent his daughters boyfriend on a suicidal quest to steal some stolen property (which he then refused to return to it's rightful owners when the quest miraculously succeeded, despite his wife telling him he should); who treated his daughter like property and locked her up to keep her from her human boyfriend; who refused to join in the nirnaeth arnoediad aside from sending like 2? elves because he was mad about something that 2 of the sons of feanor had done; who was very racist to the dwarves; ect..
Which leads me to believe that either
A) The whole thing about Simarils burning evil was made up propaganda to help show how evil the sons of Feanor were and justify people keeping their father's creations from them
B) The Simarills did burn evil and in fact burned Thingol, but it was hushed up because it would have called into question the claim he and his line insisted they had to the jewels and made him look really bad. And if that was the case, I would say they probably would have burned the Valar as well if they'd gotten their hands on them.
or C) It was less that the Simarills burned evil and more that they burned anyone Varda didn't want to have them.
