description: 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. Included are dozens of ancient formulae and experiments. Also included is a Bibliography and Full Index. Bartlett has been a practicing alchemist for almost forty years and was a student of the twentieth century's most highly recognized alchemist, Frater Albertus, at Paracelsus College beginning in 1974. After receiving his degree in Chemistry in 1979, Bartlett was appointed Chief Chemist at Frater Albertus' Paralab. He has worked as a miner of antimony in Idaho and as a geochemical assayer for the mining industry. He is an Adept Level member of the International Alchemy Guild.
