@Barhir if you read my response you'd know that I'm not suggesting that "all gems" have power. The simarils are far stronger than my proposed idea, things don't need a prophecy from mandos, or any false, to have power. There was no prophecy to making rings of power, yet they made them nonetheless, many of which probably had gemstones.

You may be right about the arkenstone, but that's likely up to debate, as Tolkien did not tell us everything.

That's what he said about the palantir, yes, but just because he said it doesn't make it right. I think everyone understands they were Crystal balls, are you seriously going to contend they were something akin to marble? The "certain person" I was referring to is a certain President of the U.S.A @Notverygoodnane You are entitled to your opinion, I disagree. But I thank you for not being, shall we say, so hostile.
