Alchemy?

Alchemy! What alchemy?!

Do they refine solar energy? Stills/alembics full of phosphorescent vapor.

Is it esoteric knowledge, passed down from master to apprentice? Or is more akin to every-day chemistry/practical science? If esoteric, did it originally come from.. dunno.. like, dragons? Esoteric symbolism?

Is there a solar version of the philosopher's stone? With certain recipes and methods -- yet no one has personally attained it. (but everyone knows trustworthy accounts) Like a mythical "Sun-Stone" made of crystalized refined solar energy. I would have some ideas if you needed details on recipes, etc.

Alchemical glass vessels would look awesome with your description of glass :)

In alchemy there were often in-between stages that were important in making sure one was in the right track. Isaac Newton wrote of the 'peacock's tail'. For instance. The "green dragon" was another one. These in between steps to a mythical "sun-stone" could also have practical function. Perhaps one can alchemically create a solar powder (pixie dust comes to mind, haha) ...which would also be a precursor to the stone. Potable sun-energy would obviously be a big one. The elixir being another step to the stone.

I could ramble about alchemy all day, so I'll wait until you fill in a bit more :) Also, I'm just thinking out loud, delete any of this that isn't helpful to keep the page tidy (it's your page)
