Real?
[edit]The metal Molybdochalkos only appears on the internet on 31 January 2001. One on some hungarian site and the other on the source used. The source used also calls it an "interpretation of the symbols" written in the margins of a copy of a Greek work on alchemy. Is this metal even real, or mentioned in any other source or text besides this site? ForthomingStorm (talk) 05:43, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
- So, not only is it mentioned in the references in Zosimus's "crab formula" that have since been removed from the article (which I elected not to re-include as it was only a passing mention and I couldn't find anything that elucidated on the alloy's purpose at all) but it was also referenced in writings about Maria's work with the kerotakis! The source I included in today's rewrite of the article seemed pretty comprehensive and well-studied, and I think represents a definitive proof that this alloy is in fact real.
