Description
Lady Alchima, mistress of the art of alchemy, cradling the precious quintessence, which has been separated from the earth "gently and with great ingenuity." That quote is from The Emerald Tablet, a text that European alchemists considered central to their art. Alchemy was the pseudo-scientific predecessor of chemistry. Among other pursuits, alchemists searched for formulas that would turn base metals into gold.
