The same as the tests for snake oil. "Red mercury" is a fictitious substance to which a wide variety of miraculous properties are ascribed. See the link to the Wikipedia article for details, but essentially, it's a scam. (There are several reddish compounds of mercury, such as cinnabar; if you were wanting information about one of those, please ask again using its proper name instead.)
