Answer:
Most of the world's mercury is obtained from its main ore, cinnabar or vermillion with the chemical structure mercury sulphide (HgS). Cinnabar is usually found in a massive or granular form but can also occur as small crystals shown below. This ore is bright red in colour and small droplets of mercury metal can sometimes be found within the ore itself. The main areas for cinnabar mining are in Italy and Spain which provide 50% of the worlds mercury.
