The mountain of seven is a deliberately enigmatic location in the Summary. It has no level ground, and from above the reader is to look upon ‘the sixth’ at a distance. On the high mountain appears the royal herb called Saturnian, variously described as mineral or vegetable.
The English preserves the unusual number-language without naming the sixth object or converting the mountain into a real destination. The passage follows a rejection of ordinary gold, silver and mercury mishandled into smoke. Its image redirects the search but does not provide a verified cipher key. Neither seven known metals nor a geographical mountain should be inserted as the solution without further source evidence.
