Golden Fleece is the Technicolor dreamcoat - The Golden Fleece is of course what the plot of Jason and the Argonauts is about and Joseph and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat is modern adaptation.

But what is it really made out of?

Aren't we the sheep?......Hmmmmmm

The philosopher's stone, in Latin lapis philosophorum, is a legendary substance that supposedly could turn inexpensive metals such as lead into gold ("chrysopoeia" in the Greek language) and/or create an elixir that would make humans younger, thus delaying death. It was a longtime "holy grail" of Western alchemy. In the view of spiritual alchemy, making the philosopher's stone would bring enlightenment upon the maker and conclude the Great Work. It is also known by several other names, such as the 'Golden Wedding Garment', the 'Soul body', the 'Astral body' and the 'Living Stone', spoken of in some of the ancient philosophies as the 'Diamond Soul'.
