GABAR/LEAD  GABIR/SATURN ROOT G-B-R...

The philosopher's stone is said to contain not only the key or secret of transformation and transmutation, but also of the secret of the essence of life itself. The philosophers stone was, the "holy grail" of Western alchemy. The Alchemist through knowledge of it, could distill the elixir of "life" from it. The Philosophers stone, was also called by the alchemists the "Prima Materia"; essence in form; the principal of creation and generation; the supreme governing principal of existence; the process, transformation, transmutation, the work, the One All - (All Mighty), the Holy Spirit, the Kheper, Gabriel, or my preference, the "god particle"

Alchemically, lead (gabar in Armenian,) root g-b-r was the physical prima materia, or represented primal matter. Lead also represented "putrefacti" decay which is necessary for the transformation process for "new life." GABAR the word for Lead in Armenian is the original word generated from the tri-litteral g-b-r.
The sigil for lead is similar to the Hebrew letter Tau, which has associations with time, life and death and Saturn the Gabir. 

In his book, The Alchemical Tradition in the Late Twentieth Century, Richard Grossinger summarizes the basic components of the alchemical phylosophy/paths (Ten in number called "planet science"). I show them below as a whole and bring your attention to number eight to affirm my point regarding the tri-litteral g-b-r. 

1. The theory of nature as made up of primary elements.
2. The belief in the gradual evolution and transformation of substance.
3. The system for inducing transmutation.
4. The imitation of nature by a gentle technology.
5. The faith that one's inner being is changed by participation in external chemical experiments.
6. The  system of synchronistic correspondences between planets, colors, herbs, minerals, species of animals, signs and symbols, parts of the body, astrological signs, etc.

7 .Gold as the most completed and perfected form of the metals.
8. The existence of a paradoxical form of matter, sometimes called The Philosopher's Stone (the Lapis), which can be used in making gold or in brewing elixirs (elixir vitae) and medicines that have universal curative powers (panacea).

9. The method of symbolism working on the simultaneity of a series of complementary pairs: Sun/Moon, Gold/Silver, Sulphur/Mercury, King/Queen, Male/Female, Husband/Bride, Christ/Man, etc.
10. The search for magical texts that come from a time when the human race was closer to the source of things or are handed down from higher intelligences, extraterrestrials, guardians, or their immediate familiars during some Golden Age.
