Alchemy, The Holy Science

Alfr asks which type of meteorite to choose from? Their chemical composition is always the same the difference is only in the proportions which result in different type of crystalization.

It's hard to believe the bethel stone will work the same way as antimony but I will try that just out of curiosity.
