Does anyone know how to make "the net", was first alloyed by Isaac Newton?

Question

"The Net" is a purple alloy with silverish striations, i think it is copper and iron but it might also be antimony. if you know what metals to use, the ratio and the temperature let me know. Ya kind of obscure but gotta start somewhere.

Answer 1

A purple alloy of metallic antimony and copper appears in many of Newton's chymical notes along with detailed recipes. http://webapp1.dlib.indiana.edu/newton/reference/chemProd.do "The basic mode of production works by first refining antimony from stibnite by means of iron and then adding copper." http://webapp1.dlib.indiana.edu/newton/reference/chemProd.do

This site says that Newton's "Net" alloy was made with copper and star-regulus.
Star-regulus was made by reducing the antimony mineral of stibnite with silver. http://www.themystica.com/mystica/articles/n/newton.html

This site says that "the net" was a purple alloy of antimony and copper that has a mesh or net-like appearance and the "tree of Diana" with a silver dendrite grown from amalgam that resembles a sort of growing, metallic shrub. http://www.indiana.edu/~rcapub/v29n1/alchemy.shtml

This site says that The Net was a term in alchemy for a copper-antimony alloy. The creation process included antimony regulus being reduced from antimony sulfide (stibnite) by the addition of iron http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Net_%28substance%29

Answer 2

Philalethes's "net" was thought to be an alloy of copper, antimony and iron.

One of the ingrediants was Martial Regulus.
