Mercury eats gold, have you ever seen it making the philosopher’s stone 1000 years #microscopes

@Microscopes Mercury eats gold, have you ever seen it? making the philosopher’s stone 1000 years 1000 years ago people were still obsessed with trying to transmute gold, so they messed around with stuff like this all the time. There was a whole school of alchemy that thought that mixing gold into mercury, if you do it right, could be the first step in making the philosopher’s stone.
