The Silmarili were the three jewels which contained the last remnant of the light of the trees of Yavanna before the Sun was made.
Silmarili means 'radiance of pure light'.
But as for all the trouble they were 'responsible', I have to agree with all the others: read the Silmarillion.

Aragorn didn't recieve a Silmaril from Galadriel, that was an elfstone. The Silmarili passed out of knowledge after the one fell in the cracks of the earth and one in the ocean.
