An apparatus formerly used in distilling; anything that transforms, purifies, or refines.
From Arabic 'al-anbiq' (the still), from Greek 'ambix' (cup). The alembic was the alchemist's most important tool — the vessel of transformation.
The ALCHEMIST'S secret tool! A glass vessel that purifies and transforms — turning crude liquid into pure essence! Now used as a metaphor for anything that refines: 'through the alembic of experience!' ⚗️✨
