Of this self-same body, which is the matter of the Stone, three things are chiefly said; that it is a green Lion, a stinking Gum, and a white Fume.
Having twelve pounds of Green Lion thus brought into gum, thou mayst believe
St. Dunstan (pseudo) Philosophia Maturata
A green Gum called our green Lyon, which Gum dry well, yet beware thou not burn his Flowers nor destroy his greenness.
Sir George Ripley
The Bosome-Book of Sir George Ripley
O how many are the seekers after this gum, and how few there are who find it! Know ye that our gum is stronger than gold, and all those who know it do hold it more honorable than gold Our gum, therefore, is for Philosophers more precious and more sublime than pearls
Turba Philosophorum
Our true and real Matter is only a vapor
This Green Dragon is the natural Gold of the Philosophers, exceedingly different from the vulgar, which is corporeal and dead but ours is spiritual, and living
Our Gold is called Natural, because it is not to be made by Art, and since it is known to none, but the true Disciples of Hermes, who understand how to separate it from its original Lump, tis also called Philosophical
Baron Urbigerus
Aphorismi Urbigerani
By gold I mean our green gold- not the adored lump, which is dead and ineffectual.
