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.
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.
