Lapis Philosophorum (Philosopher's Stone)
Deep in crucibles and athanors alchemists searched for the Philosopher's Stone that would change base metals into pure gold. But wasn't alchemy an even more mysterious pathway? The origin was the 'Emerald Tablet' of Hermes Trismegistus, an enigmatic teaching which the Arab world would later say was the great internal principle of the Great Work. A 'Corner stone' in architecture, the 'Philosopher's stone' in alchemy. In the Arab language the world 'stone' has a 'hidden' dimension. It wasn't the search for the Philosophers Stone the search for the essence of man, divine like 'the brightness of the sun'?
