Wait, could you pull a quote for that? I must have missed it.

I think there used to be something implying that in the exchange with Griphook in chapter 4, but it seems to have been rewritten.

Yes. And Ch 87 says, "gold or silver".

The real publication attributed to Flamel claims he transmuted silver, then some time later (years, as I recall) transmuted gold. Presumably silver is left out in most discussions of the stone because who would settle for silver when you could have gold?
