Feanor's character was indeed stained by a spirit of covetousness that tainted his creation the Silmarils causing them to excite similar emotions in most of those who saw or possessed them.

But was it *only* Feanor's covetice that made them such a magnet for greed? Remember the Light within them too was hoarded, denied to Middle Earth and kept for the Valar and their followers alone. Could it be the Trees themselves were also tainted?
