It is the silmarillion !-kind of

Iimagine the arkenstone was the repressed [unpublished] silmarillion
coming into his glorified children's tale and that thequalities are identical because JRRT used the exact same language to describe them both [with out realizing it ?] out of a desire for [ the tale of the Silmarills] to get out one way or another.
sub-conscious allegorical sub-creation I would call it.
I always thought it strange that they buried it and didn't put it atop his tomb,so all could see.
