Primary source for topic of Alchemy?

I am currently doing an essay on alchemy, and am required to have 1+ primary sources. It is currently Thursday, and the essay is due Monday, so ordering anything isnt reasonable. Can anyone give me something printable that could pass as a PRIMARY source concerning the topic of Alchemy (philosopher's stone, mutus liber, aqua vitae, etc)?

1. You mean a primary source of information on the Internet? There aren't very many good sites on this subject. Also, it depends on which end of Alchemy your class is coming from. If they are only coming from the herbalist and chemistry end of things, then it should be easy to find a straight forward site on that. If they are coming from the spiritual end, then that may be harder to dig up. Here are some sites I often use for reference: http://www.gnosis.org/jung_alchemy.htm http://www.levity.com/alchemy/info.html http://www.flamelcollege.org/library.htm#ALCHEMY%20TEXTS If you are looking for books as well, let me know and I can recommend a few essentials.
