Is believed to be the stuff of legend can transform inexpensive metals (like lead) into gold and can be used in the manufacture of the elixir of life. The origins of this term is in the science of alchemy, which began in ancient Egypt, but the idea of turning metals into precious metals (gold or silver) back to the writings of the Arab alchemist Jabir ibn Hayyan. The Ibn Hayyan analyzed the properties of the four elements, according to Aristotle, saying the existence of four basic properties of heat, cold, drought and humidity. The fire was considered hot and dry the soil Vbard and dry while the water is cold and humid and the air is hot and humid.
He went on to say that metal is a mixture of these four elements, two of them internally and two externally. It is his hypothesis that it was concluded that the transfer of metal to another is possible through re-arrangement of these basic properties. This transformation, according to the alchemists believed, would be material by Her Highness elixir. Some have said that the elixir is the red powder to the fabled stone - the philosopher's stone.
Some believe that Ibn Hayyan had derived his concept of the philosopher's stone of the possibility of concealing knowledge of metals such as gold and silver alloys and extract them later on the chemical. Ibn Hayyan was also the inventor of aqua regia (a mixture of nitric acid and hydrochloric acid), one of the few substances that can dissolve gold (and still is in use to clean the gold).
I think that the ancient gold metal stainless steel does not lose its luster or invalidated. Since the philosopher's stone turning perishable metal to metal can not be concluded that corruption of the human creature can give mortal immortality. There was this belief in the Middle Ages in particular, remained faith philosophers stone that has prevailed to Antoine Lavoisier, the re-definition of the chemical element.

Finally ... Just as the myths of each era was the philosopher's stone or the elixir of life and subsequent legend has plagued many in the Dark Ages in Europe, which dominated the practice of magic and superstition as well as the ratification is the myth of mercury in the Pharaonic era of information revolution and tremendous progress in all areas of technology.
