Galadriel is also called the Lady of Light and the Lady of the Golden Wood… “Galadriel’s mirror” is a basin of water which functions much like a crystal ball… At their parting she gives Frodo a gift, which Tolkien describes as “a small crystal phial: it glittered as she moved it, and rays of white light sprang from her hand”.
