1cm Tungsten Cube - Smallest Size

It's a small cube... but fascinating in it's own way. Put in in your palm. Heavier than expected. Now to get some cubes of similar size in Aluminum, Iron, copper and others. Practical value? Maybe not. But curiosity is really the most important characteristic to encourage in kids. It may be a requirement in adults... if you want to stay young.

It's not weighty, so its not like you'll really feel the heft at its size, but it's really tough

This little cube arrived at my house just the other day. The weight obviously is a bit shocking to those unfamiliar with tungsten. I have a rock collection which this will be a part of, but it is a great tool to teach density. Since this small cube has significant weight when comparing to other items, children can recognize this phenomenon hands on.

It's a 1cm cube of tungsten (probably a tungsten composite, really, but close enough), and it has the same rounded corners shown. There's not much else to say, except that the feeling of its weight is surprisingly strange even at such a small size. I use mine as a desk ornament and a tiny paperweight.

Recently bought a tungsten d20 dice for 100$ and figured these were a cheap way to add some satisfyingly weighted D6 to my collection. Very much worth it, despite the smaller size. Still trying to figure out how to cheaply drill in some pips, given they are Tungsten and a normal bit wont do much

Love these little guys. They make awesome dice! I’m drilling the pips as I write this. Think I’ll go back and get the 1/2” cubes for something even more substantial...but these have already won me about $100 yee!

it was a tiny item, but wonderfully packaged; just as I expected

These are excellent little cubes. I'm very happy with how well they are machined and finished. All the corners/edges are nicely smoothed. Yes, these cubes are attracted to a strong magnet. This is because these cubes are made from what is called a "machinable alloy" of tungsten which contains a bit of iron and nickel. Now that I've had a chance to test drive these, I'll be getting a bigger size as well as some spheres.
