Finding Quicksilver Ore:
There are many locations around skyrim were you can find quicksilver ore. However, there is one particular mine that is full of quicksilver ore veins. It is located in Dawnstar next to the northern most building on Dawnstar.

Quicksilver ore can be made from quicksilver ingots at a smelter. If you are at the quicksilver mine in Dawnstar you can find a smelter to the left of the entrance of the mine. Two quicksilver ore make a quicksilver ingot.
