Tungsten Spinning Top

Tungsten Spinning Top - Main image

Category: Art of Play

A shockingly heavy little space-age top designed for hypnotically long spins. Tungsten is a super-dense metal (heavier than gold!) and though this top only stands 1.25" tall, it weighs almost a full ounce. The symmetrical obloid lines and sleek silhouette remind us of 1960s flying saucers but a brushed metal finish gives the object a modern sensibility. If you give the Tungsten Top a good, crisp spin, we think you'll be surprised how long it will twirl, balanced on end, rotating, almost invisibly. Nimble-fingered spinners can keep it going for over 2 minutes which makes the Tungsten Top the longest spinning top we carry. Highly recommended.

Michael ★★★★★

I wasn't prepared for how dense this little top is—it feels like a solid chunk of metal from another planet. The spins are mesmerizing, easily going over two minutes on my desk.

James ★★★★★

I keep this on my desk and it easily spins for a couple minutes per flick, which I did not expect from something only 1.25 inches tall. The weight of the tungsten is the real surprise, it feels like a tiny paperweight in your palm.

George U. ★★★★☆

Bought this as a fidget toy and the weight genuinely surprised me — it's way heavier than it looks for something only 1.25" tall. Spins for ages, though it does wobble a bit on anything but a perfectly flat surface.
