Significance of the green stone? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I think the green stone was the Elessar, or Elfstone, that was given to Aragorn by Arwen via Galadriel as a token of hope. (It's in the "Farewell to Lorien" chapter.) He later took his name as king from it. Galadriel told him that the name Elessar was fortold for him, but I don't know who by. I'm also not sure why Aragorn thought it important to include in a song about Earendil. As far as I know, Earendil didn't own the elfstone.

Hope that helps!
