A stronger objection in the same vein might run thus:
COULD the Dwarves even cut and fashion a Silmaril? I believe there is something in the
Silmarillion to the effect that the Silmarils were unbreakable except by Fëanor himself, so craftily were they made.
Or it's too late at night and I'm getting things confused. Don't think so though...
In any case, without giving a fuller argument at all, count me down as quite opposed to any suggestion that the Arkenstone was a Silmaril.
