    Looks to be about 1.5m on each side (based on 1.8m - 30cm).

    Volume of the cube:
    1.5 * 1.5 * 1.5 = 3.375m³

    Density of tungsten = 19,450kg/m³

    Mass of cube:
    3.375m³ * 19,450kg/m³ = 65,643.75kg = 65.64375 metric ton

    Price of tungsten: 6,672.78 USD/metric ton.
    (Tried to find what I thought was a reputable price)

    Price of the cube: 65.64375 mt * 6,672.78usd/mt = 438,026.30usd

    Hope that’s reasonable

      It’s reasonable other than the scale. Getting that much tungsten is no problem with half a million dollars. Making it into a cube would be like trying to cut steel with tools made of sharp cheddar cheese.

    When life gives you tungsten cubes, use it to manufacturer Scorpion rounds to take out Wraiths.

    That’s probably a 70T (metric) cube assuming a 5’ cube. At something near US$30,000/T that’s worth about $2m.

    I hope he doesn’t have to pay for delivery
