The Nimphelos and the Arkenstone could definitely not be the same because one was a pearl and the other was a diamond. Even for a senile Dwarf, there is absolutely no chance of confusing a pearl with a diamond. It's just impossible. Even an uncut diamond looks nothing like a pearl, and wouldn't the other Dwarves have thought it strange that a huge pearl turned up in the middle of a mountain? Some of them, knowing old legends, would have probably recognized it, and written it down. I think that when it was hidden, it was lost. There is nothing more to say.
