If it's that easy to separate from natural mercury then it seems like they could make a fortune just separating it and selling the separated mercury.

Something isn't adding up

Maybe there is not a huge need for isotopically pure mercury so the current price is not reflective of acquisition/manufacturing costs?

Yeah, it’s expensive because nobody needs it so the process is very small scale and essentially a bespoke isotope separation service.
