Tungsten Cube - 2 - Free 1 Cube with Purchase

Very cool desk toy and education piece.

You are probably looking at this and assuming it will be heavy. Youre right, but its even heavier than that. Its just very, very heavy. The heaviest substance most of us come into contact with on a daily basis is steel. This is over twice as heavy as that. Theres really no way to describe this without experiencing it yourself. If you want to get technical, there are a few elements that are heavier (okay, denser), but they are significantly more expensive. Pure gold is 19.3 g/cc3, and pure tungsten is 19.2. This cube is a tungsten alloy to make it less brittle and its about 18.1. My next purchase will be the sphere.

Item as described

Its expensive, but I justified the purchase to myself by using it as a medically necessary hand exercise device to help deal with my Dupuytrens contracture. The bonus 1-inch cube is also very gratifying to fidget with as a way of coping with anxiety or restlessness.

Its not mind blowingly heavy but its certainly on the cusp. If you want to spend a lot of money on something pretty cool and hold basically the heaviest thing a human can hold thats not gold or a collapsing star, go for it. Its fun to toss around and catch when Im drunk and also a nice weight to do some calisthenics with :) not disappointed, but if your smart buy stocks instead

This is an expensive desk novelty, but definitely something unique. The cube itself is well machined and nicely packaged. My only issue is that it should have came within a beefier stand, one that won’t succumb to the weight of the piece it’s meant to display. Not docking and stars off because the price is clearly for the chunk of metal. Currently 3D printing a more robust stand while I’m typing this up.

This puppy is heavy! Machined perfectly

My obsession with ball bearings is so yesterday. These tungsten cubes are so much cooler. The weight is high for the size compared to anything else I own. Pick up. Put down. Repeat. Pictured are the 1, 1.5 and 2 tungsten cubes.

Love it! A great gift for my science nerd husband

Excellent item - works as a fantastic paperweight with interesting properties. Great gift for an Engineer, Teacher or Scientist.
