Hermes Trismegistus has been referred to as the father of [[alchemy]]. According to one legend, a slab of emerald found in his tomb had inscribed upon it Hermes’ precepts for making gold. This emerald tablet contained the familiar Hermetic axiom: “What is below is like that which is above. And what is above is like that which is below.<ref>Ibid., p. x.</ref>
Hermes Trismegisto ficou conhecido como o pai da alquimia. Segundo uma lenda, em uma placa
de esmeralda encontrada no seu túmulo havia inscrições dos seus preceitos para fazer ouro. A placa continha o famoso axioma hermético: “O que está embaixo é igual ao que está em cima. E o que está em cima é igual ao que está embaixo”.176.<ref>Hargrave Jennings, The Divine Pymander of Hermes Mercurius Trismegistus San Diego, Califórnia. Wizards Bookshelf, 1985, p. x.</ref>


One ancient author who claimed to have seen the stone said that it was an emerald on which the characters were represented in bas-relief, not engraved. The material had once been in a fluid state like melted glass and had been cast in a mold, and it had been given the hardness of a genuine emerald by alchemical means.
