Mercury Colouring

I disagree!

Tree sap and iron-oxide can produce dark brown to the so-called Lao Tu Da Hong. Cinnabar can produce the so-called rosey-red permeation.

The amount of mercury used, and the concentration of mercury in the burial can definitely stain nephrite to black color. If what you said is true, then all the Hai Qi Gu black color permeations are fake! This is obviously a mistake!
