The Philosopher's Stone is a part of metaphorical Alchemy, and has nothing to do with transforming any actual metals into actual gold, more like propeling the spirit of the Alchemist to be able to contact God directly and survive the experience.
The one called Hermes Trimestigus may have done so, but in any case, why do you care?
Following a path of Alchemy has nothing to do with what anyone else has or has not done.

If there was a real Philosopher's Stone, so much gold would be made that its value would fall to nearly nothing.
Technically you can transmute elements with a nuclear reactor or particle accelerator, but the few atoms of gold you'd make would nowhere near pay for the cost of the transmutation. As for eternal life, well that's a load of bollocks.

I would say Karl Jung came the closest. I do not believe that he was a member of the Priory.

there is a similarity between the philosophers stone and the holy grail, they could be one and same

Only Santists are able to turn metal into gold......
We were not given the power as God knew we would become greedy....

Ok, I think you've been smoking too much of the bad stuff today.
