	Arkenstone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Arkenstone (or Heart of the Mountain) of Thrain was a wondrous gem sought by Thorin Oakenshield in J.
		The Arkenstone became the family heirloom of Durin's folk, but was lost when the dragon Smaug captured the mountain from the Dwarves.
		The dispute was interrupted by an evil army arriving from the Grey Mountains, the Battle of Five Armies ensued, and Thorin was killed.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Music: Caravan of Light, David Arkenstone, CD
		Arkenstone adds evocative keyboard and programming effects to give the impression of sparkling skies and endless shifting sands -- eerily effective on "Jewels of the Night" -- but he also rocks out on guitars and the Russian bouzouki.
		While much of the music is delicate and hypnotic and evokes a feeling of exoticness and spirituality, Arkenstone sometimes breaks the spell with the introduction of vocals; one example is "Road to Zanzibar," which features Valerie Fahren where the subtle rhythms of the song are broken by the vocal line.
		Arkenstone fans will surely still love this album, but those not familiar with his vast catalog of works might do better to choose one of his classic instrumental compositions.

		When you utter or whisper the name Arkenstone, musically the words synonymous with this name would be bold and beautiful.

	KMC Forums - The Arkenstone
		OK...we all know that the Silmarils were casted in the ocean by Maglor, one was chucked into a fiery chasm by Maedhros, and one was set by Earendil on his brow.
		Now, I've always wondered if the Arkenstone was the silmaril Maedhros threw away; it was swallowed by the earth poetically.
		And oh...also one of the descriptions of the Arkenstone is that "it shone with ten thousand sparks of white radiance shot with glints of the rainbow." and we know that the Silmarils held the light of the Two Trees of Valinor and we all know how bright they were.

		But to be fair to David Arkenstone, he's always been inspired by the master fantasy author, so the release of this album just happens to be timely.
		Arkenstone's music captures Lord of the Rings about as much as an old John Wayne World War II movie captures the real event.
		Instrumental, with vocals that complement Arkenstone's style perfectly (he himself is a very good singer even if only a handful of his tracks on all his CDs actually feature him singing).
