All the weights I saw were "<1{Gamma?}" for both cut gems and large gems. What gems were you using, and where did you get the volumes from?

Wiki page claims it here: http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Weight [^]

Easiest way to test this would be to mod in some reactions to generate the items made out of a material with stupidly high density, like slade, so that the items are heavy enough to facilitate comparing the weight.

EDIT: Quick screencaps to confirm this is indeed as bug report indicates: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/173908541088858113/400391098213859348/image.png [^]

EDIT 2: For further reference, slade boulder has a weight of 20000 kilograms (that's what the measurement is evidently) while a rough slade gem (even less existent without reaction fuckery than cut slade gems) has a weight of 500.
