Lostgaeriel has just left Hobbiton.
Silmaril

Gandalf the Grey and Telchar - thank you for your illuminating comments. They add to the enjoyment of the story.

Regarding the word 'beryl' - out of curiosity, I had looked this up in the dictionary some time ago.

A beryl is a semiprecious or precious stone, a beryllium aluminum silicate, varying in colour from white through yellow (heliodor), greenish-blue (aquamarine), green (emerald) to pink (morganite). Therefore a green beryl is by definition an emerald.
