The Arkenstone or Heart of the Mountain was a wondrous gem sought by Thorin Oakenshield which had been discovered beneath the Lonely Mountain during the reign of Thráin I, and then shaped by the Dwarves. The Arkenstone became the family heirloom of the Kings of Durin's Folk, but was lost when the dragon Smaug stole the mountain from the Dwarves.

The Arkenstone was discovered not long after the founding of the Dwarf Kingdom under the Mountain by Thráin I. After it's discovery and cutting by Dwarf artisans the jewel became an heirloom of the Kings of Durin's Folk and was taken by Thorin I to the Grey Mountains when he removed his people there. The Arkenstone returned to the Lonely Mountain centuries later, returned by King Thrór after dragons drove his people out of the Grey Mountains. When Smaug came to the Lonely Mountain the Arkenstone became a part of his hoard.

The gem was the object most prized by Thorin Oakenshield of all the treasures of the Lonely Mountain. Such did he consider its value that he was willing to trade 1/14th of all the gold and silver of Smaug's hoard for it.

When Bilbo Baggins found it on Smaug's golden bed deep inside the Lonely Mountain, he pocketed it, having learned how much Thorin valued it. While the Dwarves with Thorin sorted the treasure, Thorin sought only the Arkenstone, unaware that Bilbo was hiding it in his pillow.[3] When the Dwarves refused to share any of the treasure with King Thranduil and Bard, the man who had killed Smaug, Bilbo crept out of the Dwarves' fort inside the Mountain, and gave them the Arkenstone. Bard, Thranduil, and Gandalf then tried to trade it for Bilbo's fourteenth share of Smaug's hoard. Then an army of Orcs arriving from the Grey Mountains interrupted the dispute, the Battle of Five Armies ensued, and Thorin was killed. The Arkenstone was placed upon Thorin's chest within his tomb deep under the Lonely Mountain, and so was returned to the earth at last.
