Red mercury is a hoax. It was invented by the Soviet KGB to fool people like you.
Smells like ammonia....

hmmm,... Mercury + airport + safety assessment equipment + "insulation" material = probably a bad idea to help you.
are you legally able to ship this material in and out of your country by air mail like this?
because aiding someone to side-step the law, is often the same as helping to commit a crime. besides just the legal problems, the rules are there
to protect people. improper shipping could hurt someone.
1 gram seems like an mighty small amount to set off a scale. if you clarify how it is currently packaged, and what the rules about this kind of
package are, some one might help.

l always thought mercury is banned from airfreight because of the Al amalgam.

Is OP talking about murcuric iodide, oxide or some mix with dyes?, or lithium-6 ( 
) Is this a victim of a 1980s esk nuclear proliferation sting operation? I'm confused, and or amused.

Well, this "natural cherry red mercury" might be the red mercury hoax, or it might be vermilion.
It hardly matters; circumventing airport security is a bad thing.
