Review: All the people here who bought this wireless tungsten cube to admire its surreal heft have precisely the wrong mindset. I, in my exalted wisdom and unbridled ambition, bought this cube to become fully accustomed to the intensity of its density, to make its weight bearable and in fact normal to me, so that all the world around me may fade into a fluffy arena of gravitational inconsequence. And it has worked, to profound success. I have carried the tungsten with me, have grown attached to the downward pull of its small form, its desire to be one with the floor. This force has become so normal to me that lifting any other object now feels like lifting cotton candy, or a fluffy pillow. Big burly manly men who pump iron now seem to me as little children who raise mere aluminum. I can hardly remember the days before I became a man of tungsten. How distant those days seem now, how burdened by the apparent heaviness of everyday objects. I laugh at the philistines who still operate in a world devoid of tungsten, their shoulders thin and unempowered by the experience of bearing tungsten. Ha, what fools, blissful in their ignorance, anesthetized by their lack of meaningful struggle, devoid of passion. Nietzsche once said that a man who has a why can bear almost any how. But a man who has a tungsten cube can bear any object less dense, and all this talk of why and how becomes unnecessary. Schopenhauer once said that every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world. Tungsten expands the limits of a man’s field of vision by showing him an example of increased density, in comparison to which the everyday objects to which he was formerly accustomed gain a light and airy quality. Who can lament the tragedy of life, when surrounded by such lightweight objects? Who can cry in a world of styrofoam and cushions? Have you yet understood? This is no ordinary metal. In this metal is the alchemical potential to transform your world, by transforming your expectations. Those who have not yet held the cube in their hands and mouths will not understand, for they still live in a world of normal density, like Plato’s cave dwellers. Those who have opened their mind to the density of tungsten will shift their expectations of weight and density accordingly. To give this cube a rating of anything less than five stars would be to condemn life itself. Who am I, as a mere mortal, to judge the most compact of all affordable materials? No. I say gratefully to whichever grand being may have created this universe: good job on the tungsten. It sure is dense. I sit here with my tungsten cube, transcendent above death itself. For insofar as this tungsten cube will last forever, I am in the presence of immortality.
Review: Exactly what it says on the label. It's a 1.5" cube of Tungsten alloy. The densest material you will ever hold in your hand unless you routinely handle gold bullion or work in the nuclear industry. (and the stuff in the nuke industry you probably shouldn't be holding in your hand.) Pure Tungsten has a density of 18.3g/cm^3 (18.25 per wikipedia. 18.3 by places that only go to 1 decimal place) The paperwork that came with this says it has a density of 18.02 g/cm^3 Measuring the cube with my admittedly cheap calipers it is spot on 1.5" on a side. Measuring the weight on my digital kitchen scale I get 1005 grams. By my math That comes to 18.2 g/cm^3 So....either my calipers are off, my scale is off, or there is a transposition typo in the paperwork. Whatever. It's a nice toy. Good paper weight and the fact that it's almost identical to the density of Gold makes it a great conversation piece when arguing with your friends about how the bad guys couldn't possibly haul away that much gold in the heist movie of your choice. EDIT: Having played with it for a while I want to note that according to my digital scale it weighs somewhere between 995g and 1005g depending on the time of day, humidity, and how I'm holding my mouth at the moment. So, +/- half a percent on the stated one kilo mass. Not bad. At the low end it comes in right on the money as far as the documented density is concerned. I'm going to see if I can talk the local high school science teacher into letting me use a balance scale to get a more accurate mass. I'll update if I learn anything new.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why the item is so expensive given the market price of tungsten is less 30USD/kg?**
A: There are multiple refining, purifying, manufacturing, and machining steps that occur between what is essentially a rock to a finished product with smooth surfaces and rounded edges. Tungsten is not refined by smelting or in a manner similar to many other metals due to the fact that it has the highest melting point of any metal. Tungsten is, therefore, extracted chemically from the crushed ore in a series of chemical reactions, titrations, washings, and filterings. The end result of the refining process is high purity tungsten powder. To consolidate tungsten powder it may be blended with a binder and very small amounts of other materials that will provide desired properties to the finished product. The most common method of consolidation is sintering. Tungsten powder is pressed into cakes or fragile bars which are heated in a furnace until the particles adhere to one another. The bar is then placed in a sintering bottle for further heating. Electric current is run through the bars until they become extremely hot, and the individual tungsten grains merge together and form a solid part. During this process the bar shrinks and becomes more dense. Alloys do not require millwork to enhance properties in the same way that pure tungsten does, but may be worked anyway to achieve desired shape. These heavy metal alloys are quite useful for many purposes and are machined much more easily than pure tungsten. Each of these steps adds cost to the final product. A broad range of prices for finished tungsten products would be from $25 to $2500 per kilo, with the majority of products in the $100 to $350 per kilo range.

**Q: Deciding btw 1" & 1.5" tungsten cube. site says 1" weighs .66 lb and 1.5" weighs 2.2 lb. (1kg). is that right? i can't make the math work. help?**
A: 1" cube = 1"×1"×1" which is 1inch³. 1.5" cube = 1.5"×1.5"×1.5" which is 3.375inches³. Therefore it is 3.375 times the mass of the smaller cube.

**Q: What is the chemical composition of the cube?  How much tungsten ie 90%, 95%, 100%?**
A: The cube is 95% tungsten with nickel-iron for the remainder.

**Q: Will this cube ever oxidize or corrode in any way?**
A: my cube has stayed pristine for over a year.  I just wipe fingerprints off off it with lens cleaner cloth. My wife thinks i am an idiot for liking it - but that probably makes me like it even more.

Do not ponder any longer, my friend. If you have knowledge of this cube's existence, you must own it. You must hold it in your hands, pure tungsten against your flesh, and relish in it's absolute power and weight, all contained to a mere 1.5 inch cube. My journey is complete. I am whole.
