The Stone is made out of only one ingredient.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Know
also that there is only one thing in the whole world that enters into
the composition of the Stone, and that, therefore, all coagulation, and
admixture, of different ingredients, would shew you to be on a wrong
scent altogether.
The Glory of the World, Or, Table of Paradise, by Anonymous, 1526 AD
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From the one substance is evolved, first the White, and then the Red Tincture; there is one vessel, one goal, and one method.
The New Pearl of Great Price, by Peter Bonus, 1338 AD
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not
only is there nothing else used than this one ingredient, but you must
be careful not to accidentally allow any other matter to become mixed
with it. A small amount of dust or water would not ruin the work
completely, but will certainly increase the time it takes to make it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For
the pure substance is of one simple essence, void of all heterogeneity;
but that which is impure and unclean, consists of heterogene parts, is
not simple, but compounded (to wit of pure and impure) and apt to
putrefy and corrupt. Therefore let nothing enter into your composition,
which is alien or foreign to the matter, as all impurity is; for nothing
goes to the composition of our stone, that proceedeth not from it
neither in part nor in whole. If any strange or foreign thing be mixed
with it, it is immediately corrupted, and by that corruption your work
becomes frustrated.

The
ingredient is urine. I understand this may sound strange, and
suspiciously convenient, on first hearing, however, there is sound and
logical reasoning for the Stone to be made from urine.
Firstly I must explain that the Stone could in theory be made from anything, since everything contains the life-energy to some degree, which is the active ingredient of the Stone. Urine contains this life-energy in high concentration, due to the fact that it has just come out of you, and you, as a living animal, are full of life-energy.
