I think the stone stays at Gringott's. Flamel keeps it there and 
since it's in his vault he has access to it whenever he needs it. All 
I'm saying is that the elixir is much less precious than the stone 
itself and would probably be easier to steal. Maybe when Flamel needs 
more elixir he and his wife go to Gringott's and brew up the elixir 
right in the vault and drink it on the spot.
Olaf, glad and big

Oops, just thought of something else. Dumbledore says he has enough 
elixir to give him time to get his affairs in order, so he must keep 
some stashed somewhere.
