Merge? / Notes
[edit]Howdy. Not to sure if there's a better way to present this information. I removed the speculative content from the article. What's left is the quote by Ashmole. Here, Ashmole discusses the Angelicall Stone (and Mineral, Magical, and Vegetable stones) from a treatise on the Philosopher's Stone attributed to St. Dunstan. The concept seems to be a convoluted mix of the philolosopher's stone and a seer stone (maybe like in the work of John Dee?). As such, I think a merge might be in order but I'm not sure where. At any rate, Ashmole's name comes up a lot when searching on this topic so I don't think it got a lot of traction in the history of alchemy. Thoughts? See also:

I think we should be listing more information + sources. i.e. Also part of Newtons collection was, The Epitome of the treasure of health written by Edwardus Generosus Anglicus innominatus who lived Anno Domini 1562. This is a twenty-eight page treatise on the Philosopher's Stone, the Animal or Angelicall Stone, the Prospective stone or magical stone of Moses, and the vegetable or the growing stone. The treatise concludes with an alchemical poem. Esotericdoctrine7 (talk) 22:14, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
