How invented the sorcerers stone?

The Philosopher's Stone, often referred to as the Sorcerer's Stone in North America, is a legendary substance in alchemy believed to have the ability to transform base metals into gold and grant immortality through the Elixir of Life. While it is not attributed to a single inventor, it is rooted in ancient alchemical traditions, with notable figures like Nicolas Flamel often associated with its mythology. In literature, particularly in J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone," Flamel is depicted as the creator of the Stone.
