The accentuation of matter is above all evident in the choice of the Stone as a God-image:
Spirit which is a water, or the water which is a spirit, is essentially a paradox, a pair of opposites like water and fire:
I must make clear at once that the following observations on the visions of Zosimos of Panopolis, an important alchemist and Gnostic of the third century A.D., are not intended as a final explanation of this extraordinarily difficult material. My psychological contribution is no more than an attempt to shed a little light on it and to answer some of the questions raised by the visions:

The spirit Mercurius appears here in the role of a mystagogue, as in the Corpus Hermeticum or the visions of Zosimos:
In spite of his obvious duality the unity of Mercurius is also emphasized, especially in his form as the lapis. “In all the world he is One”:
As the divinus ternarius, Mercurius is the revealer of divine secrets, or in the form of gold is conceived to be the soul of the arcane substance (magnesia), or the fructifier of the philosophical tree:
