Aragorn's Elfstone - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

The elfstone (Elessar) that Aragorn receives from Galadriel is not a silmaril, but another stone of high quality. The history is mixed when reading the UF and the Lost Tales. In one version, I believe, the Elessar was a gift of Celebrimbor to Galadriel. I think that there were actually two Elessars', the first being destroyed in the Fall of Gondolin, but I don't have my materials in front of me to know exactly.

I surmise that the Elessar that Aragorn receives is the second made by Celebrimbor.
