A beautiful sample from Portugal. The mass density of tungsten is 70% greater than that of lead and is equal to gold. Only 6 elements are heavier (rhenium, iridium, osmium (heaviest of all), platinum, neptunium and plutonium) so this little sample is shockingly heavy for its size! And the only one of the eight that's not prohibitively expensive and/or ridiculously dangerous !
