Re: Arkenstone and Silmaril

This is a nice idea, but there is no way that the Arkenstone is a Silmaril. Gandalf would surely have recognized it as such and he is hardly likely to have stood by and allowed it to be buried on Thorin`s breast.

Smaug may also have found one of the Silmarils too hot to handle. It didn`t do Carcharoth much good after he bit off Beren`s hand, so I don`t imagime that Smaug would have slept too soundly if one of the Silmarils had been part of his hoard.
