When the white powder of gold is mixed in water, it becomes the Elixir of Life, the alchemist's dream -- also known as The Golden Tear from the Eye of Horus, or "That which issues from the mouth of the creator."  It was also called as the "spittle of God" -- not the word of God, but the spittle.  Others referred to it as the semen of the father in heaven.  [Putting the white powder in water doesn't result in it dissolving.  Instead, it forms a gelatinous suspension, and looks very much like a vial of semen.]
