Default I want to buy a solid piece of pure tungsten, 3 to 15 lbs.

If it wasn't my only one, I've got a sintered 5# block from work. An
unneeded engineering sample. I'll ask and see if they have any others,
but I don't think they'll have one for a couple of weeks/months. It is
weird how dense it is.


If you think tungsten's weird to handle, try gold, or even platinum. Both
are heavier, platinum by a considerable amount. It's about 10% heavier than
gold, which is about 12% heavier than tungsten. Both are very strange to
hold, and easily slip from your grip.
