What an amazing and generous thing to do, greig! Those little cubes are too cute.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

greig I just saw the unboxing from Rob Jugglerguy . How super cool of him! If you can't go to the rocks... LOL

Love how Mrs. MeMiner is in the back there ooing and aweing. Camera shy- that's me, too. She'll love that puddingstone heart pendant, I'm sure. I was really taken aback by the fabulous polish on those petoskey stones. Now, say it with me...

ETA- Also super glad to hear you're doing so well.

It was fun opening Rob's box. I had intended on traveling that direction before my accident, but probably have to put it off for a while. I am not sure I could handle 17 hours in the truck. I met Rob on this forum and we PM often.

Hey greig

Check out this 2”x2” tungsten cube. It weighs over five pounds. It came in a 4”x4” box. If you took the padding out you could fit seven more of them in the box.. tungsten is crazy cool

Not questioning you… just wondering, what makes tungsten so cool?

It can make cool things like my custom made darts.

Tungsten is cool because of its density. The specific gravity is 19.29. One cubic foot would weigh 1224 lbs. For reference, the specific gravity of lead is 11.34 with a cubic foot weight of 708 lbs. Gold is almost as heavy as tungsten. If I remember right, only platinum, osmium and Iridium are heavier.
