*Crucible*

The French word “creuset”, meaning a high temperature resistant container, was later translated into Turkish as “[Kroze](/en/detay/kroze-3/llms.txt)”. The crucible was invented by the Persian physician scientist and philosopher [Abu Bakr al-Razi](/en/detay/abu-bakr-al-razi-c4cb8/llms.txt) during the alchemical period. During the alchemical period, the crucible was used especially to turn worthless metals into gold and to find the substance called the philosopher's stone. Crucibles made of clay in ancient times have developed over time and have survived to the present day, and ceramics have been produced from more durable and efficient materials such as [platinum](/en/detay/platinum-1867a/llms.txt) and quartz.
