class of substance can be large. I have taken an average weight per cubic metre for a given substance and
there is seldom much variation in weight between different batches of the same metal I have given the weight

arest pound, which should be accurate enough for roleplaying purposes.

iamond in anything like cubic feet or metres are vanishingly small, but you just never know.........
