It has had many uses throughout time with thermometers and barometers being some of the more common ones.   It actually changes into other forms and not all of those transformations are fully understood.   Learn why “traditional “ gold refining (amalgamation) methods contaminate our environment with about 650-1000 tons of mercury every year.
