Tungsten
Cube

1 kilogram. 1.5 inches.
The densest object you’ll ever hold.

A precision-machined cube of 99.95% pure tungsten. At 19.3 grams per cubic centimeter — nearly twice the density of lead — it doesn’t sit on your desk so much as anchor it. This is what serious looks like.

The 1KG Tungsten Cube

Tungsten Cube for Sale —
1KG, 1.5” Edition

The Tungsten Cube is 1.5 inches (38.1mm) on each side and weighs exactly 1 kilogram (2.2 lbs). It is machined from a single billet of 99.95% pure tungsten with a precision brushed finish that catches light at every angle.

Pick it up and understand immediately why tungsten is unlike any other metal. The weight is startling — dense in a way that feels closer to a physics problem than a desk object. Set it down and it stays put. It does not slide. It does not tip. It simply exists, machined to precise tolerances, and will outlast everything else on your desk by centuries.

The Material

Why Tungsten? The Weight, the Density, the Point.

Tungsten is element 74 on the periodic table. It carries the highest melting point of any pure metal (3,422°C), the lowest coefficient of thermal expansion, and a density of 19.3 grams per cubic centimeter — nearly identical to gold, and almost twice that of lead.

That density is the entire story. A tungsten cube the size of a golf ball weighs over a kilogram. Hold our 1.5-inch tungsten cube and your brain misreads the information it’s receiving. Objects this size are not supposed to weigh this much.

Tungsten is also extraordinarily difficult to machine. Its hardness and extreme melting point require specialized tooling and slow feed rates that would destroy standard carbide cutters. The cube you receive is the product of precision industrial machining that most metals simply cannot tolerate.

It has no practical use on your desk. That is the point. It is an object that exists purely to demonstrate one of the most remarkable properties in the physical world: that something so small can have so much mass.

A 1.5-inch tungsten cube weighs exactly 1 kilogram (2.205 lbs). Tungsten has a density of 19.3 grams per cubic centimeter — nearly twice the density of lead — which makes even a small tungsten cube substantially heavier than it appears. A 1-inch tungsten cube weighs approximately 315 grams. A 2-inch cube weighs approximately 2.5 kilograms. See our full tungsten cube weight guide for a complete size-to-weight table.
A tungsten cube is a precision-machined cube of pure tungsten metal. Tungsten (element 74) is one of the densest naturally occurring elements, with a density nearly identical to gold. Tungsten cubes are sold as collector’s items, desk objects, and scientific curiosities — prized for the extraordinary weight-to-size ratio that makes them unlike any other object of similar dimensions. Learn more about what makes tungsten unique.
Our 1KG / 1.5-inch tungsten cube is $199, machined from 99.95% pure tungsten with a precision brushed finish. Tungsten cube prices vary by seller depending on size, purity, and finish quality. All orders include free shipping and a 30-day return window.
Tungsten is expensive to source and exceptionally difficult to machine. It has the highest melting point of any pure metal (3,422°C), which means standard machining techniques don’t apply — specialized equipment and slow feed rates are required to cut and finish tungsten to tight tolerances. The combination of material cost and precision manufacturing is what drives the price.
Tungsten cubes have no industrial use in cube form — they are collector’s objects and desk pieces. They are bought for the physical experience of holding something that weighs far more than it looks like it should, as a demonstration of tungsten’s remarkable density, and as a conversation piece. Engineers, physicists, and collectors are the most common buyers.
A 1-inch (25.4mm) tungsten cube weighs approximately 315 grams (0.69 lbs). This is calculated from tungsten’s density of 19.3 g/cm³: a cube with 2.54cm sides has a volume of approximately 16.4 cm³, multiplied by 19.3 = roughly 316 grams.
You can buy a tungsten cube directly from The Tungsten Cube at thetungstencube.com with free shipping on every order. Tungsten cubes are also available from other sellers on Amazon and specialty metal retailers, but purity and finish quality vary. Our cubes are 99.95% pure tungsten with a precision brushed finish and a 30-day return policy.
