An alchemical substance of wizarding tradition, said to turn metal into gold and to yield the Elixir of Life.
The Philosopher's Stone is an alchemical substance that gives its name to Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Wizarding tradition holds that the ruby red stone turns any metal into pure gold and yields the Elixir of Life, a potion that keeps the drinker alive for as long as they go on taking it. Producing one is among the oldest goals of alchemy, and alchemists have worked towards it for centuries with almost nothing to show.
