Figure 34 is the character of the greater and lesser worlds; as the dot is surrounded by its circumference, this world is surrounded by Schamayim. Man (the Little World) is included in this symbol because his inner nature is potential gold (Aphar Min Haadamah), which gold is his eternal indestructible spiritual body.
Philosopher's Gold is the Potential of Humanity granted by the Divine Spark -- the part of God that allows "that which is not but now is"
Ether is the Mercurial essence -- the ever-changing Substance of reality.
The Womb is the Alembic/Crucible/Fertile Soil/Holy Grail/Earth
The Child is the Stone/Perfection and the coming of New Life -- the peak of "that which is not but now is" and the fulfilment of the Creator's Creation Creating.
Transmutation of materials is, I agree, a vulgar feat.
Transmutation of things into Gold is what we call Invention.
One cannot create from darkness, as darkness is nothing more than the absence of light. Shadows are but an illusion cast from that which is -- their only purpose is to act as premonition to that which is to come.
The Usurper of the Darkness (Hay'lel/Lucifer/Satan) hides in the Dark and claims it as his own in a feeble attempt to hide from God's Eye.
Grace is the Gold of Potential, granted us by God in the Crucible of a Mortal Life. Only those that flee the sting of Death have means by which to acquire this potential. A being unfettered by Death will have no reason to act judiciously, as they have infinite time to "get around to doing it."
Only through the disparity of limitations (stuck in this time with this body in this place) might we have the gumption to do Great Works.
Ahh...the Philosophers Stone... Aside from all the new age woo woo re the soul, enlightenment, ascension...turning lead to gold... the truth of it is much simpler. The Philosophers Stone is Rock. The evidence, and mystery of it has been staring us in the face forever. Every ancient wall, pyramid, megalith...The lost geopolymer chemistry of re-agglomerated "stone". The mysterious coded babble of the alchemists was both an attempt to exclude those not in the club and a genuine attempt to describe reactants prior to having the underlying concept of atomic structure.
Alchemy isnt just transforming metals to gold.......it's also about transmuting the darkness of ones soul. Using it as fuel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1S_Gcg6zm8
There are different types of Gold.

Ether is the Mercurial essence -- the ever-changing Substance of reality.
Potential (Gold) + Ether (Mercurial Silver / Quicksilver) = Philosopher's Stone (Perfection)
Gold is masculine, it is the semen.
Silver is feminine, it is the egg.

Think alchemical -- symbols, firmament, conceptual, etc.

10 And out of Eden went a river to water the garden, and from thence it was divided, and became into four heads.
11 The name of one is Pishon: the same compasseth the whole land of [a]Havilah, where is gold.
12 And the gold of that land is good: there is [b]Bdellium, and the Onyx stone.
13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same compasseth the whole land of [c]Cush.
14 And the name of the [third] river is [d]Hiddekel: this goeth toward the East side of [e]Ashshur: and the fourth river is [f]Parah)
15 ¶ Then the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden, that he might [g]dress it, and keep it.
