I would like to highlight the following fact:
We are doing ALCHEMY and not chemistry and i apologize for i cant stress that enough.Tha reason i mention this is to bring up the issue regarding the materials we use for our work,specifically the metals.Alchemy works with the "life" of the ores/metals/minerals as most of us are aware of.Therefore,the materials that we should use should not be bought from an online store or anything else of that nature rather than from the mines directly.This is because the ores that are given by stores have been chemically treated and heated over and over again and throught these procedures,the metals are killed by the heat of the ovens and so we are left with an already dead body,so we cant procceed with that.And another thing i wanted to mention about Antimony.In medival/ancient times there was no antimony metal,so we will have to work with stibnite and from it,extract the antimony.
I am not aware if such an issue has been set again,i just bring it up for the new comers since i consider it quite usefull information.
