About this symbol
Vitriol was the alchemists’ name for the sulphates of metals, and oil of vitriol was sulphuric acid. Alchemists read the word as an acronym of a Latin motto, “visita interiora terrae rectificando invenies occultum lapidem”: visit the inside of the earth, and by purifying you will find the hidden stone.
