Red Mercury

We offer red mercury.
The science newsgroups have been
a-buzz with tales of a 2-kiloton
yield russian red mercury fusion
device, theoretically in the
possession of terrorists. This,
of course, prompts the question
what is red mercury? the answer
to this question depends largely
on whom you ask. Is red mercury
real? absolutely, but definitions
vary. If you had asked me before
I did a bit of internet research,
I would have given you the
standard cinnabarvermillion
answer. However, the russian
tritium fusion is more
interesting..
Cinnabarvermillion
cinnabar is naturally-occurring
mercuric sulfide (hgs), while
vermillion is the name given to
the red pigment derived from
either natural or manufactured
cinnabar.
