  Mercury (element) - Open Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Mercury is one of the few elements that has an alchemical symbol (left).
A rare element in the earth's crust, mercury is found either as a native metal (rare) or in cinnabar, corderoite, livingstonite, and other minerals with cinnabar (HgS) being the most common ore. Approximately 50% of the global supply comes from Spain and Italy, with much of the rest coming from Slovenia, Russia, and North America.
The metal is extracted by heating cinnabar in a current of air and condensing the vapor.

Corderoite Hg sub 3 S sub 2 Cl sub 2
Black spongy masses to 2 mm of finely intergrown corderoite with tiemannite are locally abundant at location 1 on the 5,400 bench, and are the most common mercury-bearing species currently identified from the mine.
The minerals occur as somewhat globular coatings on fragments of brecciated jasperoid rock in direct association with crystallized fluellite, leucophosphite, strengite-variscite and anatase.

 Rocks & Minerals: Eugene Edward Foord - 1946-1998
Throughout his career he described or co-authored the first descriptions of some twenty-five new mineral species, a total that is expected to rise to more than thirty once studies now in press or in progress with his many professional colleagues are completed.
His first new species was the mercury mineral corderoite, [Hg.sub.3][S.sub.2][C1.sub.2], from Nevada (Foord, Berendsen, and Storey 1974), soon followed by the niobium-tantalum oxide rynersonite from the San Diego mine (Foord and Mrose 1978).

 The Story of Mercury - The Many Faces of Mercury
Miners find mercury in ores such as this sample of mercury sulfide, also known as cinnabar.
Mercury is also found in the ores calomel, livingstonite, and corderoite.
Mercury’s density is 13.5 times that of water and its great cohesiveness property gives mercury droplets a unique shape.
