Alchemy

Alchemy is an ancient tradition, a precursor to modern chemistry. It provided procedures, equipment and terminology that are still in use today. The main objective of alchemy was the creation of the "philosopher's stone", a mythical stone capable of turning base metals into gold or silver, as well as acting as an elixir of life. Alchemy also included all sorts of non-scientific, mythological, religious and spiritual concepts, theories and practices. Practical applications of alchemy has contributed greatly to medicine and physical sciences.
