Wow. When I first read the Hobbit, I didn't think Arkenstone more than it appeared to be. However, this discussion has almost convinced me it could be a Silmaril.
About the secondary light theory. The phial of Galadriel was made of crystal, no? And the Arkenstone was clearly diamond. So couldn't the light of the Silmaril be captured in diamond better than crystal?
However, I could be talking nonsense here... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
