I remember seeing some discussion on LNet once about gem jars and weight. Was sorting some gems and thought I'd put it to the test. Loresung weights. Off-the-shelf jars in Icemule.
---------- Before ----------
In the umber brocade longcoat:
gem,uncommon (1): a green alexandrite stone.
gem (134): a blue lace agate, a deep purple amethyst (2), a shard of tigerfang crystal (2), a large yellow diamond (2), an uncut diamond, a pinch of gold dust (2), an uncut emerald, a blood red garnet (5), a green garnet, an aquamarine gem, a piece of polished ivory (4), a piece of green jade (5), a piece of yellow jade (2), a piece of white jade (3), some blue lapis lazuli, a large piece of mica, some purple mithril-bloom (3), a large platinum nugget (5), a platinum nugget (14), a gold nugget (7), a large gold nugget (10), a blue-white frost opal (2), a white opal (7), a black opal (3), a large black pearl (3), a small grey pearl, a piece of cat's eye quartz, some golden rhimar-bloom (3), an uncut ruby (2), a star sapphire (2), a pink sapphire, a violet sapphire, a blue sapphire (3), a green sapphire (3), a yellow sapphire (2), a sardonyx, a pink spinel, a green malachite stone (4), a turquoise stone, a petrified tiger tooth (4), a smoky topaz (7), a green tourmaline, a petrified mammoth tusk (6), a snowflake zircon (2).

The first thing that strikes you about the backpack is the weight, which is about 80 pounds.
Total weight before: 156 lbs
Total weight after: 160 lbs
Gem weight transfered: 27 lbs
Weight increase: 4 lbs (14.8% increase)
Note that 8 new jars were used and I gained weight at 0.5 lbs per jar. I figure that jars with gems increase in weight by 0.5 lbs + gem weight. The next time I do a session, I'll try to see what happens when I don't start any new jars. I've only done this once with 4 lbs of gems and I saw no weight increase (but with such little weight that could be due to rounding/truncating).
If this is old news and there's something official, let me know. Didn't see the info listed
