This is a very heavy cube

A 2x2 inch cube of aluminum is pretty light and barely weighs a pound. However tungsten is one of the densest metals, so a cube of the same size weighs over 5 pounds. It has almost the same density as gold, so a block of gold the same size would weight the same amount. I also have a 4x4 inch cube of tungsten and it's pretty crazy because it weighs 42 pounds.
