Summary

An extremely rich ore specimen liberally covered with silver droplets of native mercury (quicksilver) to 1 mm. Mercury is the only recognised mineral that is found as a liquid at room temperature. Cinnabar alters to native mercury in the oxidized zone of deposits. Native mercury is also quite rare. VERY RARE IN SPECIMEN FORM and a VERY difficult element to obtain in its pure form for an elements suite in a collection! The specimen has been sprayed with clear lacquer to stabilize the mercury, which is a standard procedure for mercury.
