The highly reflective surface of the Mercury, or Quicksilver as it is sometimes known, makes it the stuff of mirrors. It's also used for thermometers, barometers, electrical devices, etc. However the problem is the cumulative poisonous nature. In the pure metal form it's relatively inert, so not so deadly, but in compounds such as mercuric chloride it's skull-and-crossbones stuff!
