The amount of pure Mercury found on earth is relatively low compared to other elements. Finding pure mercury itself in large pools for nearly all purposes is impossible and finding mercury in its pure state (liquid) is also rare. But Mercury is not a rare element because it's found in large amounts. Mostly all mercury is found in its impure state in a red ore called cinnabar (HgS), which is made up of mercury and sulphur.

Much of the worlds Mercury in mined in Spain and Italy.

though several other countries also produce commercial quantities.

Mercury or quicksilver, is the most commonly used in thermometers and barometers. It also has other scientific uses, such as manometers and float valves. Mercury is also used for medical purposes, such as blood pressure devices, and can be found in some over-the-counter medicine, such as eye drops, and diaper-rash ointment. However scientist are still trying to determine if Mercury is found on the actual planet Mercury. Mercury is also used in mascara. Mercury's vaporous discharge can produce light, thus it can be found in some ultraviolet lamps. But, it can also be found in deposits all over the world, as cinnabar (Red mercury). EDIT: The element Mercury is highly toxic and CAN'T BE USED IN MEDICINE. It can cause many diseases and sicknesses. Mercury is usually found deep down in the ground; near the core of the Earth.
