The ancient greek root of iron. Iron, like silver, is white, which is an attribute of stars. Meteoric iron or "sky-iron“ is the supreme substance for forging the physical representation, since it has already been tempered by the celestial gods in its passage across the heavens. The indivisibility of form and emptiness is a perfect metaphor for the image of a meteorite or "stone fallen from the sky", manifesting out of the voidness of space as a shooting star or fireball, and depositing a chunk of fused "sky iron" on the earth below.
