Fantastic, let me know when you're finished so I can read it ok? And make it nice and comprehensive [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]. Maybe we can gang up on the Wight to get them stuck up on the main site (I can't seem to be able to contact the bugger...) Oh, there are more admins around now aren't there? Anyway, just write it and we'll see about that.

The Arkenstone was diamond was it, and the phial of Galadriel was 'crystal'? Actually, diamond is a particularly crystallic type of crystal, you know (lol I'm slightly interested in geology, actually). But it does seem that the Arkenstone was made of some heavy material or other, similar to the Sils, rather than the light little phial -- that may in fact have been glass -- that Galadriel gave. I think it was something quite different. The phial was disposable (by that I mean short-life), I am fairly sure of that. I don't think the Arkenstone was. Its light, as I have said, endured for years and years above ground and was apparently still as bright as ever when it was reburied.
