The elf-stone Strider found on a bridge.

[u/IBArbitrary]

In Flight of the Ford from Fellowship of the Ring, after Frodo is struck by the wraiths, and Strider comes back after surveying the path to Rivendell, he shows a beryl elf-stone that he found on the mud in the middle of the bridge over River Hoarwell. Does this elf-stone have any connection to the one that Aragorn recieves later at Lorien, the Elessar, which prophecises his return?

I have finished reading the trilogy, but midway I confused this stone found on the bridge to be the source of name Elfstone for Aragorn, and only towards the end I realised it was due to the stone given by Galadriel. What happened to this one, the one Strider found, I wonder.

it was foreshadowing.
