I am dark and bright; I spring from the earth and I come out of heaven. I am well known and yet a mere nothing. All colours shine in me and all metals by the beams of the sun.
I am the Carbuncle of the Sun.
-Thomas Vaughen, Coelum Terra.
Carbuncle \'kar-bung-kul\
1. A beautiful gem of a deep red color, especially the ruby, garnet or spinel. When held up to the sun, it loses its deep tinge and becomes the color of burning coal.
2. A painful, localized skin infection, larger than a boil, with several openings for the discharge of pus.

What The Alchemists Say
Matter — as I have formerly intimated — is the house of light.
