I appreciate you only buy virgin Mercury. The first pressing always produces the best result.

virgin

Please don't fuck the bottle of liquid mercury.

Where's the taste test results?

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).
-
Where can I find a bottle like this to hold? I need to expand my horizons
-
I bought it from this guy, $236 for a bottle. Please only buy it if you know what you're doing, as it is very bad for the environment and your health if it's spilled or handled improperly.

Totally off topic, but I was curious how dense this was compared to nuclear waste and it's pretty close.

I wish mecury was more accessible to just play with. A room temperature liquid metal is just interesting.
-
Yeah it's a shame it's so dangerous. You can get alloys like Galinstan that are liquid at room temperature, but they tend to stick to stuff and aren't nearly as dense.
-
It's danger is sort of exagerated. As long as you take reasonable safety precautions you will be fine. Here's a guy flushing a toilet with mercury.

Sir why do you have 5.35kg of liquid mercury?
6kg was too expensive.
That's not just mercury, it's virgin mercury! The good stuff!
virgin mercury vs chad water
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?
