Toadstones are mythical stones or gems
thought to originate from the heads of toads. In reality, a toadstone is simply
bufonite that formed from the button-like teeth of Lepidotes, an extinct
species of fish from the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.
In ancient
times, people assumed that because toads had poison glands in their skin, they
must also carry their own antidotes and took this in the form of a magic stone.
For that reason, toadstone were supposed to be an antidote to a number of
different poisons, and whenever someone was bitten or stung by a poisonous
something-or-other, a toadstone would be rubbed on the wound. European
jewellers also set the stones into magical rings and amulets until the 18th
century, calling them “stones that are perfect in form.”

“Shiny,” from Moana as sung by Morgoth (probably to Maedhros)
Well, Moringotto wasn’t always this glam
I was a sour little Vala once
Now I know I can be happy as a clam
Because I’m beautiful, baby
I’m pretty sure Eru said listen to your heart
Be who you are on the inside
I need two words to tear his argument apart
Eru lied!
I’d rather have
Shinies!
Like a treasure from a sunken swan ship wreck
Scrub the deck and make it look
Shiny!
I will sparkle like a wealthy Noldo’s neck
Just a sec!
Don’t you know
Elves are dumb, dumb, dumb
They chase anything that glitters (beginners!)
Oh, and here they come, come, come
To the brightest thing that glitters
Mmm, elf dinners
I hate to be rude
But you’re so dead, dude.
Well, well, well
Little Nelyo’s having trouble with his oath
You little semi-demi-mini-king
Ouch! What a terrible annoyance
For us both (get it?)
You don’t swing it like you used to, man
I’ll give Feanaro credit for my start
And all his family on his side
For just like him I really love these works of art
I’ll never hide; I can’t, I just love
Shinies!
Watch me dazzle like a diamond in the rough
Strut my stuff; my jewels are so
Shiny
Send your armies but they’ll never be enough
My shell’s too tough
Maitimo, you could try, try, try
But you can’t expect a Noldo sod
To beat a demi-god (give it up)
You will die, die, die
Now it’s time for me to take apart
Your aching heart
Far from the ones who abandoned you
Chasing the oath of your doomed kin
And your dad who’s dead, now
You tried to be tough
But your armour’s just not hard enough
Nelyo
Now it’s time to kick your
Hiney
Ever seen jewels so
Shiny?
Soak it in ‘cause it’s the last you’ll ever see
Namarie, mellon-nin!
They’re so
Shiny!
Now I’ll chain you to a rock for eternity
Tee-hee-hee
You’ll never be quite as
Shiny
You wish you had these
Shinies
