The American Heritage Dictionary Defines Crucible As "a Place, Time, Or Situation Characterized By The Confluence Of Powerful Intellectual, Social, Economic, Or Political Forces; A Severe Test Of Patience Or Belief; A Vessel For Melting Material At High Temperatures." A Crucible Was The Vessel In Which Medieval Alchemists Attempted To Turn Base Metals Into Gold.
