What happened to the Arkenstone?

So yeah, what ends up happening with the Arkenstone? Bard makes it into a keychain?

The fate of the Arkenstone is told in The Hobbit

They buried Thorin deep beneath the Mountain, and Bard laid the Arkenstone upon his breast.

Chapter 18 The Return Journey

Kind of a spoiler alert if you haven't read The Hobbit but it was buried with Thorin in the Lonely Mountain after The Battle of the Five Armies.

A single line, is that all that's said? I have no memory of it. Yikes - definitely time to reread. Thanks aplenty!

 

[Gothmog]

Yes, just a single line. Easy to over look. Unlike the Arkenstone

You guys are so nice! I shouldn't have been intimidated by a Tolkien forum for so long. So many wasted nights, sigh!

Nope, we're all Tolkien enthusiasts here! I'm sure others will agree with me when I say I love talking about Tolkien and answering questions if I can! The only stupid question is the one not asked
