    It’s just good ol’ fashioned mercury.

      The article claims it’s 2.5x as dense as water, which according to this density chart is probably bromine.

        I actually bet it’s just very very fine stonedust and water in suspension.

            Supposedly it’s exactly that, but stabilized by a polymer to keep it in suspension for up to 60 days without mixing. https://online.flippingbook.com/view/1025707592/10/#zoom=true

            Edit: I’ve concluded it’s likely calcium carbonate.
