* The ''VideoGame/{{Atelier}}'' series is all about crafting items, so it's not surprising that the Philosopher's Stone is a high-end synthesizable item in each of the games in the ''Mysterious'' trilogy of the series - ''VideoGame/AtelierSophieTheAlchemistOfTheMysteriousBook'', ''VideoGame/AtelierFirisTheAlchemistAndTheMysteriousJourney'' and ''VideoGame/AtelierLydieAndSuelleTheAlchemistsAndTheMysteriousPaintings''. Rather than being anymore particularly useful than any of the other powerful end-game items, though, crafting it is really more just a mark of a powerful alchemist. As such, each game in the trilogy has a side-quest which requires the player to craft it. ''Lydie and Suelle'' even has a second sidequest in which you can create "Cute Philosopher's Stones" for Lydie and Suelle's alchemy teacher, Ilmeria. It returns in ''VideoGame/AtelierRyzaEverDarknessAndTheSecretHideout''. Creating it is only an optional quest that allows you to learn an ability for a character, but it is a great item to use in synthesis and also good for farming gems, which have a number of uses.

* In a ''ComicBook/TexWiller'' special titled "Il Segno del Serpente" (The Serpent's Mark), the main villain is a shady criminal cooperating with a native tribe and a gang of ruthelss mexican bandits funding the reaserch of a tormented ex-monk who has found a massive tome of alchemy which he could use to make the Philosopher Stone to turn lead into gold and make elixir of immortality. Near the end of the story, the man finally manages to create a [[TheUnreveal unknown substance]] which allows him to turn lead into pure gold, but as Tex and his comrades break into the villains' lair (killing the bad guys), the alchemist tries to escape with the book, only to be killed by the venomous snakes placed as a trap near the lair. Having been told of the Stone and seen the transmuted gold himself, Tex wisely opts for disposing of the book in a fire, so that noone can abuse it.

Note that this cost is largely only in fiction: In most alchemical modes of thought, the Philosopher's Stone was a metaphor for the result of achieving a sort of Gnostic enlightenment, where your knowledge and self-control reach the height of or go beyond human potential, and you transcend the worries of the mortal world to join with God. The reason the Stone isn't common is simply that most people simply don't have the capacity or experience to reach this state, and even those who have likely wouldn't have the desire to use the thing anyway, what with being what essentially amounts to a mental PhysicalGod and all. An often overlooked fact is that to get it, you must not want to use its power. Or more specifically, in order to attain it, you must have reached a degree of spiritual enlightenment that renders you content with your lot in life and, as such, do not feel any need to make use of the Stone's more profane (i.e. non-spiritual, like the turning lead into gold bit) properties.
