Mercury is sometimes called quicksilver. It is a rather poor conductor of heat if compared with other metals but it is a fair conductor of electricity. It alloys easily with many metals, such as Gold, silver, and tin. These alloys are called amalgams. The largest natural source of mercury is cinnabar, which is a reddish mineral containing mercury and sulfur which has been used as a pigment, or dye, since ancient times.
