A nazar or evil eye stone (Turkish: nazar boncuğu) is an amulet from ancient Turkish mythology (form Central Asia, shaman Turks) that protects against the evil eye.

It consists of concentric circles (from inside to outside: dark blue, white, light blue, dark blue). Therefore it is sometimes called "Blue Eye".
