First, a very good tip I read on this list: try to imagine what the surface
would look like without any light.
Make the mercury a full 100% reflective, without surface color black and/or
diffuse at 0%.
Your highlights should be 100% and high.

Now make a melted (=rounded) form; remember, mercury sticks together very
strongly. Make it shiver a bit (fast) as it moves. Slow, gradual moves
suggest syrup-like fluids, and fast or fast shivering motions make liquids
thinner. Also make it bounce about a bit between forms (equalising between
gravity and its cohesive force).

Hope this helps,
