About This Item

Philosopher's Stone Collection

Philosopher's Stone ("Stein der Weisen"):
"The stone, also referred to as the "Philosopher's Stone," or the "powder" (Greek xerion, which passed through Latin into Arabic as elixir), was allied to an elixir of life, believed by alchemists to be a liquid derived from it. Inasmuch as alchemy was concerned not only with the search for a method of upgrading less valuable metals but also of perfecting the human soul, the philosopher's stone was thought to cure illnesses, prolong life, and bring about spiritual revitalization. The philosopher's stone, described variously, was sometimes said to be a common substance, found everywhere but unrecognized and unappreciated." (Encyc. Brit., 15th ed., 1976)

... so please be careful and do not mess geocaches with all the liquids and tinctures dropping from the stones ;-) Handle with care if you're close to your car or your mother-in-law. Feel free to add images or descriptions of things you upgraded, perfected, cured and revitalized using the stones!

Tja, in Oldenburg ist der TB nun längste Zeit gewesen. Er wird Mitte Oktober dann wohl Richtung Landeshauptstadt wandern.
