I just ordered a 2 inch cube of it. It weighs 5.2 lbs. I wish I could afford the 4” cube.

I have a Tungsten top from foreverspin. It weighs 60 grams. The magnesium top weighs 6 grams. They are exactly the same dimensions.

I see that! Even the 2” isn’t cheap. There’s 8 2” cubes in the 4” one. But you can buy 8 for cheaper than the 4”. ??

Amazon sends a 1” cube if you order the 2” cube.
Tungsten is cool. I have a lot of different metal tops from foreverspin. Too many collections.

I can’t wait to get that hunk of metal in my hand.

The titanium bar and the copper bar are each 1 pound. The copper rod I s cool. I haven’t weighed it but you cannot pick it up with two fingers.

I have just under 60 sets of darts. Most of which are 90% tungsten. They use the tungsten so the darts can be made to a pretty small diameter and/or length, yet still maintain a weight of 20-26 grams.

Had no idea about these cubes. Pretty cool. Looking at the different sizes and different element sets on Amazon was fun and educational.Thanks Starguy for posting about these; now I just have to find an excuse to buy one.

You've got an interesting collection going!
