Priestess Alchemy's White Powder of Gold Elixir & Cream: Ancient Cream with a Modern Counterpart

For those not familiar with the concept of the white powder of gold-this is an ancient concept, having its roots in millennia long past. The white powder of gold is thought by some to have been the true manna, the "what is it?" of the ancient Jews and ancient Egyptians. There is also the stream of thought about the white powder of gold being the true Philosopher's Stone sought by the alchemists, while also being the real "gold" that comes from "lead" in mankind's mixed-up memories. In other words, the gold has to be mined and refined, stripped of its dross; so in the raw state dug up from the earth it is like lead, a mere heavy metal. But once refined and processed, it becomes the king of all the metals. Many nowadays think that gold is king of the metals and, along with platinum, the most precious substance in the world, even more precious than diamonds, merely because of its luster, but if this were true then we would be hard-pressed to say why gold is considered more precious than many other beautiful metals and gems like sapphires, diamonds, rubies, silver, and emeralds.

Science tells us that gold's incredible value lies in its chemical properties of having relatively little resistance to electrical current among other properties. Your electronics components often feature gold plating, if you've never noticed. This gold plating makes for more efficient conductance of electricity. Gold is also used as heat shields on the space-faring craft of such space agencies as NASA and the ESA. If you think about the precious gemstones and the precious metals from this angle, you begin to think about things in a different light. Silver, for instance, is the most efficient radiator of heat. Diamonds are used as drill bits. The things we think are valued merely for their appearance or use in jewelry have deeper roots in the minds of mankind, according to many people. These roots interlace function and form.
