What substance were the Silmarils originally meant to contain?

@White_Rabbit - I know you'll know this immediately, so would you mind giving others a crack at it first?
@voltronic The light of the Two Trees. @White_Rabbit
@LiberalLibrarian
Not the answer I'm looking for. That's what they did contain, eventually. But that's not what Fëanor wanted to put in them originally.

@voltronic @LiberalLibrarian @White_Rabbit I’d have failed and said what m our librarian said. My only other guess would be the lights of the Iluin and Ormal?
@sfleetucker
Not possible. Melkor had done a good job destroying those well before Yavanna created the Two Trees to replace the Lamps.
