Best Answer

One famous medieval scientist who attempted to turn worthless metal into gold was alchemist Nicholas Flamel, who lived in the 14th and 15th centuries in France. Flamel was thought to have discovered the philosopher's stone, a legendary substance believed to have the power to transmute base metals into gold. His reputation as an alchemist and purported alchemical achievements have become well-known in popular culture and legend.
