Philosopher's Stone is a substance as believers in alchemy would have extraordinary properties, such as the ability to transmute metals into gold vulgar, there are two types of stone: the red, capable of transmuting base metals into gold and white, the use of these transforms base metals into silver. The red is obtained using the dry method, the white through the wet, in both cases the starting element is iron pyrite.
The philosopher's stone or elixir of life was something eagerly sought after and coveted because it was supposed magical powers, not only to get the gold but to cure some diseases and to grant immortality. For the production of gold is looking for a material to facilitate the mixture of mercury and sulfur because it was assumed that this was the right path. From this mixture would find the noble metal. These two aspects are related, a feature of gold is that it oxidizes more slowly than other metals, ie the gold is "immortal" so if they found out how to become golden from, maybe you could make the poor body mortal become immortal.
