Mercury comes from cinnabar (mercury ore), so in its original form it is not liquid, only after melting does it become liquid.

So it is mined as cinnabar, then mercury is created from it. It doesn't naturally occur in liquid form.
Gallium sounds closer, but still is not in liquid form until it melts (has action upon it).
I have a piece of cinnabar. It looks almost like the one in the picture. I bought it at a rock and mineral show.

Mercury. It is a metal which a liquid form at room temperature.
Gallium is also very nice. It is solid at room temperature, but will liquify simply from the heat given off by the palm of your hand!
