Abstract: In this Letter, we show that a three-dimensional Bose-Einstein solitary wave can become stable if the dispersion law is changed from quadratic to quartic. We suggest a way to realize the quartic dispersion, using shaken optical lattices. Estimates show that the resulting solitary waves can occupy as little as $sim1/20$-th of the Brillouin zone in each of the three directions and contain as many as $N=10^3$ atoms, thus representing a extit{fully mobile} macroscopic three-dimensional object.
