What is the composition of the Philosopher's Stone?

Answer 1

There are many theories all which involve it being created through Al's chemise. Although who exactly this Al character is and why he would be wearing a woman's one-piece needlework undergarment is still a topic of hot debate. The main components of the philosopher's stone is believed to be carrots (which is not to be believed not to not no longer exist) and mercurochrome, also known as mecurochrome, merchurochrome, mercurichrome, and monkey blood. Also the creating of the stone is believed to need energy, energy which also is believed to be an energy needed to create the stone. It was believed that the stone couldn't be created by normal matter. Human life is not normal. Hence why the human life was used in theories. Also there were theories without using a matter or carrot to create it, unless you consider mercurochrome to be matter. Such as the theory to crystalize mercurochrome, which is believed to be a main component of the philosopher's stone, other than carrots. There are bunches and bunches of legends, too many to enumerate, about how they crystalized mercurochrome and when they crystalized enough mercurochrome and when it was made into a stone/crystal, but mostly crystal, it could turn lead into gold, and also aid healing when used as a topical antiseptic. But whenever the crystalized mercurochrome was used and in the making people died from the fumes and such from the mercurochrome when it was made, but sometimes used. Still others just got a stinging sensation and had to blow on it. The mercurochrome crystal, in some theories, is called the fake philosopher's stone. And, in some other theories, it is not. Some theories call it the magical fake monkey blood philosophical antiseptic thingy. But I digress. The name 'Philosopher's Stone' is misleading. It's believed to have many forms: liquid, stone, crystal, powder, tablet, capsule, caplet, chewable, soothing lozenge and many other forms. These are all legends, Al's chemise decade which meant, so did the research on the philosopher's stone. and is now (not now) replaced (not replaced) by a similar (not the same) scientific (not scientific) technique (which may or may not be an actual technique), fancy needlework.

Also:

There are many theories all which involve it being created through alchemy. The main components of the philosopher's stone is believed to be carmot (which is not believed to no longer exist) and mercury. Also the creating of the stone is believed to need energy, energy which also is believed to be a human life/soul. It was believed that the stone couldn't be created by normal matter. Hence why the human life was used in theories. Also there were theories without using a matter or carmot to create it. Such as the theory to crystalize mercury. There are a bunch of legends about how they crystalized mercury and when they crystalized enough mercury and when it was made into a stone/crystal, it could turn lead into gold. But whenever the crystalized mercury was used and in the making people died from the fumes and such from the mercury. The mercury crystal, in some theories, is called the fake philosopher's stone. The name 'Philosopher's Stone' is misleading. It's believed to have many forms: liquid, stone, crystal, powder and many other forms. These are all legends, alchemy decade which meant, so did the research on the philosopher's stone. and is now replaced by a similar (not the same) scientific technique, chemistry.

Personally, I think it's a load of old bollocks, but I have got a lot more cranky since I turned 500.
