Description
Introducing our NEW Tungsten and Magnesium cube sets!
The most shocking display of density yet! Our magnesium cube is made from an incredibly light magnesium alloy (density of 1.77 g/cc), while our tungsten cube is as heavy as it gets (density of 18 g/cc). At equally sized pieces, tungsten is over 10x the weight of magnesium!
Our 1.5" cube set consists of one 1.5" x 1.5" x 1.5" magnesium alloy cube and one 1.5" x 1.5" x 1.5" tungsten alloy cube.
Weight of 1.5" Mg Cube: 0.22 lbs
Weight of 1.5" W Cube: 2.2 lbs or 1 kg
Our 2.0" cube set consists of one 2.0" x 2.0" x 2.0" magnesium alloy cube and one 2.0" x 2.0" x 2.0" tungsten alloy cube.
Weight of 2" Mg Cube: 0.51 lbs
Weight of 2" W Cube: 5.2 lbs or 2.36 kg
Our 2.5" cube set consists of one 2.5" x 2.5" x 2.5" magnesium alloy cube and one 2.5" x 2.5" x 2.5" tungsten alloy cube.
Weight of 2.5" Mg Cube: 1.00 lbs
Weight of 2.5" W Cube: 10.19 lbs or 4.62 kg
Our Kilo cube set consists of one 3.255" x 3.255" x 3.255" magnesium alloy cube and one 1.5" x 1.5" x 1.5" tungsten alloy cube.
Weight of 3.255" Mg Cube: 2.2 lbs or 1 kg
Weight of 1.5" W Cube: 2.2 lbs or 1 kg
This item is the perfect gift for science and metal enthusiasts, or just anyone who appreciates the wonders of the natural world. With a sleek brushed finish, these cubes are a beautiful addition to any desk or shelf.

Frequently asked questions
What comes in each set?
What comes in each set?
One tungsten alloy cube and one magnesium alloy cube. The 1.5", 2", and 2.5" sets pair cubes of identical size; the Kilo Set pairs cubes of identical weight instead.
How much do the cubes weigh?
How much do the cubes weigh?
1.5" set: 2.2 lb (1 kg) tungsten and 0.22 lb magnesium. 2" set: 5.2 lb (2.36 kg) tungsten and 0.51 lb magnesium. 2.5" set: 10.19 lb (4.62 kg) tungsten and 1.00 lb magnesium.
What is the Kilo Set?
What is the Kilo Set?
One 1.5" tungsten cube and one 3.255" magnesium cube — each weighs exactly 1 kg (2.2 lb). Same weight, dramatically different volume: the clearest density demonstration in the lineup.
Are the cubes safe to handle?
Are the cubes safe to handle?
Yes. Solid tungsten alloy is inert, non-radioactive, and non-toxic. A solid magnesium block is also safe to handle and display — magnesium's fire risk applies to fine shavings and powder, not solid blocks.
Why is tungsten so much heavier?
Why is tungsten so much heavier?
Tungsten heavy alloy has a density of about 18 g/cm³ against magnesium's 1.77 g/cm³ — over ten times the weight in the same size cube. Tungsten is one of the densest naturally occurring elements; magnesium is one of the lightest structural metals.
Who is this set for?
Who is this set for?
