Could be lead or mixture of pot metals that's the same density. |

It could be gold inside, tungsten and gold are almost exactly the same denisty.

Quoted: She keeps saying that it might be tungsten on the outside but something cheap in the inside. SHE CAN'T GRASP THAT ISN'T POSSIBLE. If it was something else cheaper on the inside it would WEIGH LESS than it's supposed to weigh. And I have weighed the damn thing. My wife doesn't have an inherent understanding of material density either... and that's okay. |

I've got a chunk of tungsten about 1.75x.75x1 that was pocketed by my uncle in a factory in NY before he moved north thirty years ago.
Sure is heavy. Never knew what to do with it so it just sits in the shop. |

Heat it up to 6,191°F
If it melts before that it’s fake. |

Tell her to go make you a sandwich and worry about something besides your frazzlin’ cube; like which direction the place settings are oriented.
Turn one around just to keep her on her toes. |

If it was something else cheaper on the inside it would WEIGH LESS than it’s supposed to weigh. And I have weighed the damn thing. Get a scale that measures grams and do a displacement test. Also, use the scale to make jam. The magic number is 0.3 X the weight of the fruit. 1000g of blackberries, 300g of sugar. |

Quoted: Here is my original thread. Thread She keeps saying she bought some tungsten rings one time that turned out to be fake. I told her I know my cube is real because of how much it weighs in relation to its size. A 1.5 inch tungsten cube will weigh what it weighs NO MATTER WHAT.

Have you measured it to make sure it's not something else? It would be pretty easy to do. I doubt I could actually know if something is lead vs. tungsten just by feel. I don't compare metal densities that often.

If you've smoked enough pot, you might mix them in. Or it could be a nefarious plutonium disposal plot. I think plutonium is more dense. If not, it's close. |

I don't compare metal densities that often. Lead is half as dense. And I'm just playing dense. Tungsten is by far the cheapest metal anywhere near its density. |

What if your wife IS RIGHT and it's made of a fake alloy that's nearly identical in density, hardness, and color to true tungsten? She knows about lab created diamonds, and how they are nearly impossible to tell from real diamonds. She's applying the same "logic" to this chunk of fake tungsten. It's a new thing, lab created tungsten!

Quote HistoryQuoted: Dude your wife is right. Could be lead or mixture of pot metals that's the same density. Lead is lighter than tungsten. The least expensive metal that’s heavier than tungsten would be osmium, at 22.6 g/cm^2 (tungsten is 19.35) In theory it could be a mixture of osmium and some other, lighter metal… but osmium is $400 / Troy ounce, and there are only like 350 pounds of the stuff produced per year on average in the US. Weigh it. If it’s the right weight for tungsten, it’s tungsten. |
