From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Three Primes or Tria Prima refers to sulfur, mercury, and salt (NaCl). These three substances were determined, by Paracelsus, to be "pure, naked, clean, and simple after proving by fire" [1] Paracelsus believed that fire separated pure from impure. Impure substances were destroyed, leaving only the pure substance.
