It was big enough that Bilbo could not close his hand around it. Thorin described it : "It was like a globe with a thousand facets; it shone like silver in the firelight, like water in the sun, like snow under the stars, like rain upon the Moon!" When he first saw it he caught his breath. It appeared to have its own inner light and ". . . it took all light that fell upon it and changes it into ten thousand sparks of white radiance shot with glints of the rainbow."

In 'The Hobbit' why is Arkenstone important?

The Arkenstone does nothing. In fact, the only reason the dwarves want it back is because it is a great treasure and a magnificent jewel. It was discovered beneath the roots of the Lonely Mountain and is also known as the heart of the mountain.


Who iis thorin in The Hobbit?

Thorin, son of Thrain, son of Thror (also known as Thorin Oakenshield) is the heir to Durins throne under Erebor, the lonely mountain. He seeks to reclaim the arkenstone lost to Smaug in order to declaim his kingdom.


What causes thorin's hardness of heart?

If you are referring to near the end of the book where Thorin rejects Bilbo, it is because of a dwarf's greediness for gold and treasure. Thorin had been searching for the Arkenstone of his father, Thrain, in the Lonely Mountain, and was upset that he could not find it. He was shocked when he found out that the very Hobbit that the dwarves had put all of their trust in had betrayed them and found the Arkenstone and did not tell him. Bottom line, dwarves are greedy. Hope this answer helped. :)
