One of the few practicing alchemists in the modern era, Robert Allen Bartlett explains what the ancients really meant when they used the term "Philosopher's Stone" and describes several very real and practical methods for its achievement. Is the fabled Philosopher's Stone an Elixir of Long Life or is it a method of transforming Lead into Gold? You will be able to judge for yourself after reading this new book on laboratory alchemy. There are dozens of ancient formulae and experiments, and a Foreword by the practicing alchemist Dennis William Hauck. A full Index and Bibliography are also included.
