I built a retort out of 2 inch chromed P-trap in this pic

but I don't think I'll use heat this time

I'm going to process it with nitric and use copper to recover the mercury. Just less danger, you know? I'm already fucking insane from breathing too much mercury so I have to be careful.

the value now is because it's so fucking rare and takes so much work to get.

literally entire cities of people working all day and all night to get a few ounces out of solid rock.
