About this deal
They then go on to estimate how long a sample would survive if the current necessary to move it (>5 m/s for most cobbles) only comes along once a year, once a decade, etc. Collectors of Unique and Heavy Items will appreciate the uncommon weight and material of these cubes, making them an intriguing addition to any collection. But really that’s unrealistic: the tungsten is so dense that instead of migrating downstream it would surely work its way down into the very first depositional opportunity it encountered, like a lag or bar. Our team of experts will work closely with you to understand your requirements and deliver a tungsten cube that precisely matches your desired size.

It’s funny, I guess a lot of folks haven’t had a chance to play with solid chunks of metal firsthand because they’ll pick up the aluminum cube and say, “Wow, that’s heavier than I expected. Luciteria offers element samples in a number of unique formats suitable for display and conversation piece use. I got the tungsten cube because of an answer on Quora to the question, “What is the most beautifully satisfying physics-based desk toy? These Tungsten Cubes captivate with their distinctive blend of scientific intrigue, tactile satisfaction, and aesthetic appeal. We offer material composition sheet and examination report which include density, flaw detection, dimensions and so on.Our Tungsten Cubes come in various sizes, including 1 inch, 2 inches, and 4 inches, each with a specific weight. Totally random musing… i wonder if it’s possible to make a compound or other material that’s a lot denser than this? The required more information, such as Surface Condition, Tolerance Request, The Quantity, and other mechanical and technical details.
To put that into perspective, a catastrophic nuclear reactor meltdown such as the one which decimated Chernobyl in 1986 “only” reaches around 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit, more than hot enough to turn titanium, aluminum, iron and other metals into pasta sauce. You might think from reviewing its properties that obtaining pure tungsten heavy metal would be difficult, but the truth is quite the opposite!
On October 13, cube sales spiked 300% and Coindesk jumped on the story, followed by Bloomberg, Vice, and The Wall Street Journal. Most people shoot steel or lead balls but it occurred to me that tungsten ones would be super dense with more energy. And of course, there are our signature Lucite element cubes, which feature the elements encased in a meticulously crafted, virtually indestructible block engraved with their names, symbols and atomic numbers. That in turns brings up the interesting question of how long a tungsten cube would survive as a recognizable clast if it were buried and incorporated into a lithified sedimentary conglomerate.
