Mercury coated gold?
 

I don't know
 

While the object in the photo is very blurry, I can still identify the major components to be silicon dioxide and oxidane


Can you take a better photo using the macro setting on a camera or the highest resolution on a scanner?
 

Joe, get a peice of ceramic tile and on the back of it (unglazed section) do a scratch test. or go see Doug!
 

Drop of acid or heat or fire will tell the tale out a doors as usual though. Shiny is no usually good as mercury..John
