Alkahest

When used with vanilla items, the Alkahest will attempt to destroy them in exchange for their Alkahestry reagents: redstone, lapis or lapis blocks. Common items such as dirt or gravel will not give reagents unless they are used with the Alkahest by the stack -- crafting less than the amount necessary to produce a single reagent item will simply waste the materials. 

Alkahests can also be looted from battle towers.
