Projection (alchemy)

Projection was the ultimate goal of Western alchemy. Once the philosopher's stone or powder of projection had been created, the process of projection would be used to transmute a lesser substance into a higher form; often lead into gold.

This article is about the alchemical concept. For other uses, see Projection.

Typically, the process is described as casting a small portion of the Stone into a molten base metal.
