I wish mecury was more accessible to just play with. A room temperature liquid metal is just interesting.
Mercury has a density 13.5x that of water, making a small amount of mercury surprisingly heavy! (And making these bottles feel very weird to hold).
Sir why do you have 5.35kg of liquid mercury?
That’s not just mercury, it’s virgin mercury! The good stuff!

I’ve always wanted some, and an opportunity to purchase it arose. Set me back almost $500 but it’s a pretty good deal considering how hard it is to get ahold of.
What will you do with it? Or is it just a trophy to brag about to your geek friends on the internet?
I’m planning to make small ampules of mercury and sell them to recoup some of the cost. But yes, the cool factor was a big part of it. :P
