[QUOTE="Village, post: 47244, member: 1900"] Hi Max Generally mercury and gold combine, this is amalgam, like sort of spongy like. Don t heat what you have, it takes over 700c to start a retort process, and what's worst is unless you do it in a controlled environment the mercury will release vapors, heavy metal vapors, and that is definitely not good for you. Not sure nitric acid will do it for you. We use anpros for chemicals, I think they would carry it, check them on line, just add a com.au. Good luck [/QUOTE]
