The Philosopher's Stone has never existed, it is the stone of myth sought by alchemists to turn metal into gold and give eternal life. While many alchemists in the past attempted to create it or believed that they created it, there has yet to be a way to create a Philosopher's Stone and it is not known whether it is even possible to create one.

Is there a philosopher's stone that alchemists believed in?

the philosopher's stone (Latin: lapis philosophorum; Greek: chrysopoeia) is a legendary substance, supposedly capable of turning inexpensive metals into gold; it was also sometimes believed to be an elixir of life, useful for rejuvenation and possibly for achieving immortality. For a long time, it was the most sought-after goal in Western alchemy. In the view of spiritual alchemy, making the philosopher's stone would bring enlightenment upon the maker and conclude the Great Work.[1]Yes there is a philosophers stone, it is carried in the platypuses pouch! by Natalie.O There is no philosophers stone in a platypuse pouch, what also supports my state is that you didnt spell philosopher right. the philosophers stone is from HARRY POTTER and the PHILOSOPHERS STONE


In medieval times who was most likely to search for the Philosophers' Stone?

It was generally European and middle eastern alchemists who searched for the stone. However, there were also a number of other people who sought after the stone, including magicians, noblemen, kings and quite obviously, philosophers. One of the most notable noblemen to search for the Philosophers' Stone was Rudolf the second, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. He hired quite literally hundreds of alchemists and various occult practitioners from dozens of nations in order to attempt to secure the prize, including the famed John Dee and Edward Kelley.

Why does the Philosophers' Stone not exist?

The Philosophers' Stone was determined to be unable to exist due to our more modern understandings of atoms. The Philosophers' Stone was a substance reputed to be able to transform, or "transmute" common metals such as lead and iron in to noble metals, such as pure gold and silver. However, we now know that to change one element in to another requires a bombardment of radiation particles, or an atom fusing process known as nucleosynthesis. Because of the massive amount of energy required in this, the cost in creating gold far outweighs the monetary profit. And since it's not possible without this expenditure of energy, the Philosophers' Stone has been deemed a myth.
