It was captured by the Nazgûl in the mid-Third Age, and was used by Sauron to entrap Saruman and Denethor during the War of the Ring. Notes 1 While the Stone was almost certainly destroyed when the Dark Tower fell, the palantíri were made from an extraordinarily strong and resistant material. It is not completely inconceivable that the Ithil-stone survived the Fall of Barad-dûr, but no record of it exists after this event. See also...
