Of what material was Eärendil's scabbard made?

Re: 144

I'm glad I looked this one up.....

According to Mr. Bilbo, it was made of chalcedony, which is a kind of quartz. Not exactly your everyday scabbard, then.

Re: 144

Certainly not the usual material, no. And must be pretty heavy, too (and I wonder how they forged it - a scabbard of stone?). Anyway you're correct, Voronwe!

Lorgan was his name. Good question, Voronwe.
