Yeah It will melt in your hand, but unlike mercury it's kind sticky.

Sticky?

I've never touched the stuff. Thanks for the info.

Alloyed with other metals, I suppose it's main charm is helping raise conductivity? By itself, it is highly conductive, I take it... The stuff seems rare, or at least difficult to refine to purity, at least. A by-product of aluminum ore refining, for the most part, but significant percentages realized only with enhanced processes...
