According to various rappers, nothing is harder than guns. So we named these Neoballs after the hardest part of guns - the metal. Our Gun-Metal Neoballs are composed of black nickel, which provides a sleek decorative coating that offers equal protection to Nickel neodymium magnet balls (which is a lot of protection, check them out. The color is very similar to charcoal, except shiny, or George Clooney’s hair in 1998 except a magnetic sphere, or Nickel neodymium balls except dark.


Electro neodymium magnetic balls are harder overall than their Coated relatives, and nickel is the hardest of our Electro platings.The coating may corrode slightly over extended periods of time - but used with care (and not given to children, because children eat fun, shiny magnets - and later require not-fun, not-shiny medical surgery), these neodymium magnets can provide years of shiny, gun-metal-y, magnetic fun. The color doped coating can rub off onto the hands, and will leave discoloration on the skin after extended use and rough kneading - similar to your mom.

 


Gun Metal Corrosive Resistance

Slightly susceptible to oxidation, rusting, tarnishing, and moisture erosion.

 

Gun Metal Geometric Tolerance

Pretty great shape and size consistency of magnets. These magnets feature a variance of ± 0.02mm. The only magnets with a tighter tolerance are Zen Magnets.

 

Gun Metal Impact Hardness

Superb shielding to collision, scraping, hitting and dropping. These are the magnets to have if you play rough.

 

Gun Metal Abrasive Strength

Okay strength against rubbing, wiping, brushing, and kneading. This coating will rub off onto your hands after extended use.

 

 

Neoballs are premium sculpture magnet spheres by the Zen Magnets Company. 5mm diameter, n35 grade neodymium, Nickel Plated Neoballs feature a ± 0.02mm tolerance, meaning they lie flat in a sheet - similar to your mom, are more rigid in a frame, and behave more consistently during construction. Due to our constant struggle for perfection, colors may vary slightly from batch to batch. We are the last American rare earth magnet sphere company, and the only one still fighting for the right to sell High Powered magnet sets in the US.

These magnets are like therapy for your brain!

This set of 216 neoballs is the perfect amount to fiddle with at your desk or while watching TV. The smooth, round spheres provide a pleasant tactial sensation, and the powerful magnetic pull requires a small amount of force to overcome, so they are easy to shape, but without having a mess of loose BBs to wrangle. The result is a customizable fidget experience. If you need to clear a cluttered mind you can devote your focus to creating geometric shapes and sculptures and performing little experiments, returning to your task with a fresh mind that received a needed stretch. If you just need a calm occupation for agitated fingers while your brain does its heavy lifting, the balls can be manipulated with an instinctual touch that doesn't require you to look down and be distracted, nor do they lull you into mindlessness with repetitive spinning.

They really are perfect for responsible adults to enjoy.
