#alchemical

• Alchemical — Pertaining to or characteristic of alchemy; specific to medieval and hermetic practices, doctrines, or texts that aimed at the transmutation of base metals into gold, the discovery of the elixir of life, or the Philosopher's Stone. In a figurative sense, the term describes a mysterious, secret, fascinating process or a profound spiritual transformation achieved through hidden or hard-to-understand methods.
• Alchemical water — An archaic and alchemical name used in early scientific translations or 18th and 19th-century manuscripts to designate mercury (quicksilver) or strong acids capable of dissolving metals (aqua fortis / nitric acid); the term documents an early stage in the adaptation of national technical vocabulary.
• Silver token — An archaic or regional term of Hellenic origin, rarely used in the past within certain alchemical glossaries, traditional recipes, or chancellery notations as a direct equivalent for silver or coins minted from this precious metal; also, a spelling variant for the proper name 'Arghir'. In a structural-linguistic sense, it reflects the technical lexical borrowings or Balkan monetary nomenclatures circulating in the Romanian Principalities prior to modern scientific standardization.
