Dear Tarek and Vivariva,
I don't want to play the know it all, but as I've read it somewhere the evil eye amulet has originated from ancient Egypt and actually it is one of the great success stories of alchemy. The original was a stone named "lapis lazuli", which is widely used in ancient Egypt jewelry and amulets. The alchemist of the time ventured to create something similar and accidentally they found the way to make glass. The dark blue color attracts the evil eye and the glass breaks, saving the object or person who could be the target of the jealousy.
Indeed, it is somehow a prejudice in our part of the world that people with blue eyes may harm more by their look.
