What is the significance of Jung's work on alchemy?

Carl Jung studied alchemy extensively, seeing it as a symbolic process paralleling individuation. He believed that alchemy's transformation of base metals into gold represented the psychological process of transforming the 'base' material of the unconscious into conscious awareness and personal enlightenment.
