But the true alchemy I know is an inner alchemy and a spiritual discipline. So you purify your character and that is what is meant with making the stone.
That is from the guy (Bardon) that was captured by Hitler:
I wonder if those alchemist people were all in a secret cult or so. I heard from a alchemist that those texts intentfully have flaws. so that only a true alchemist can decipher them. But that makes no sense to me, otherwise no text lead someone to making the stone. In my opinion, those texts are pretty boring and they are rather there to distract from the true alchemy.
The hermetic system or elemental system, that is what alchemist usually used, is the same as the chakra system. The masters claim that they were incarnated around the world and brought the wisdom. Bardon (the one I quoted above) claims you can ask the gnomes (earth elementals) on the astral plane for the stone. so you would not need the alchemist texts for that. But the real stone is the inner alchemy or that is similar to stone.
