Mercury is one metal that you don't see associated with minerals very often. Especially as an inclusion. This may have a lot to do with Mercury being a liquid when most other metals are in a solid state. I cannotsay for certain. Incredibly Mercury can take on a crystalline form known as Cinnabar. Cinnabar is bright crimson red and very eye catching. It is found here included in some superb Calcite crystals from the N'Chwanning II Mine in South Africa. This locality is world famous for producing some of the best Calcite crystals in the world. Glassy luster, perfect structure and perfect optical clarity. To have such rare and beautiful inclusions in such high quality Calcite crystals is truly special. This is an extremely rare specimen and is not often seen on the market.
