Hi, I'm looking for mercury nitrate, do you know a place where i can order it ?
Or do you know an available website/place where I can order a small quantity of mercury element ?

the gallium source has mercury for sure...
www.galliumsource.com
the nitrate can be easily made with HNO3 and mercury metal...

Yeah I know that neptunium that's why i asked for small quantity of mercury element.
Adas look on youtube.
Gallium isn't an available source for me shipping cost are too high for my country +195$ !! and I don't want to have 250g of mercury.
I'm just looking for about 5g of mercury salt like mercuric chloride or mercury nitrate or mercury thiocyanate.

Try a mercury thermometer, if they sell those in your country. Break it open, get mercury, then put nitric acid on it. There's your 5 grams of mercury
salt.

Mercury is very close to being a noble metal, it is just one grid below gold, but it is still a semi-noble metal, and is corroded and dissolved by
nitric acid.

ebay has some grounded cinnabar...its kinda expensive for large quantity but a small amount is cheap...although i wouldnt recomand roasting it to get
the liquid metal, unless outside far from anyone and let it cool for a while before approching it
