Alchemical Work: The Journey of Transmutation

Alchemical Work is the esoteric process of transforming base matter (Lead) into incorruptible substance (Gold). It is not just chemistry, but the process of purifying the Soul and Spirit , through a cycle of internal death and rebirth.

The Four Fundamental Phases

The work develops through four chromatic phases, as illustrated in our collection:

1. Nigredo (Blackening / Putrefactio): The phase of crisis, dissolution, and chaos. It symbolizes the encounter with the Shadow and the descent into inner darkness.
2. Albedo (Whiteness / Dawn Rose): The stage of purification and cleansing. Symbolizes mental clarity and the emergence of the pure Soul.
3. Citrinitas (Yellowing / Cauda Pavonis): The stage of enlightenment. It symbolizes the maturation of wisdom and the union of the Sun and the Moon before final fulfillment.
4. Rubedo (Redness / Red Rose): The stage of fulfillment. It symbolizes the realization of the Spirit and the creation of the Philosopher's Stone (Gold).

The Bond with the Stones

Each phase of the Alchemical Work corresponds to a state of spiritual growth and, consequently, to specific energies of the stones:

• Nigredo Stones (Black Tourmaline, Onyx): Helps with grounding and protection during crisis (Lead).
• Albedo Stones (Moonstone, Clear Quartz): They promote intuition and calm after the storm (Silver).
• Citrinitas Stones (Citrine, Topaz): They support will and wisdom (Rising Gold).
• Rubedo Stones (Ruby, Carnelian): Instill vitality and courage for final action (Pure Gold).
