Re: Arkenstone and Silmaril
The Silmarils burned and withered the hands of anyone who touched them that was 'impure'. Though Bilbo was a fine fellow, I'm not so sure about Thorin or all of the Dwarves that had handled the stone before it became part of Smaug's treasury. I'm sure the Arkenstone was also passed around between Thranduil and Bard, also.
The Arkenstone was not a Silmaril.
