I'm leaning towards star sapphires but I'd love some suggestions.

A towel?
Large diamonds, brilliant green emeralds, large rubies, and star sapphires could be worth up to 6,500 gp.
It doesn't really describe the art objects. I'm not sure if some are magic or how big they are. The grade 6 ones go from 7,000 to 13,000 gp.
A towel?
Also, this. You should always know where your towel is.
Art objects are worth as much as the GM says they are and weigh as much as the GM wants. This makes the subject kinda hard to discuss.
Ok i think i should elaborate
i have a handy haversack i can fill it up with any one type of non magical non useable item of worth. what would you fill it with and volume counts so ...?

Can you define what you mean by non useable?
Do you mean non consumable items like poisons or alchemical items that have one shot use or are we talking about something else?

As mentioned, art has changeable prices so it doesn't help there, and I guess you could just have masterwork versions of feather-light things, masterwork adamantine silver sheen tiny daggers for instance.
They are a bit niche though, and subjective. Are you looking for trade goods? This is a question we can get somewhere with answering. We can assume we have limited encumbrance weight and we want to carry as much stuff of one type to sell.
This makes rare art and the like impractical anyway, they tend to to be shovelled into a handy haversack.
And let's assume the objects are all of the same type, for ease of sales. And indeed, ease of acquisition.
Gemstones are the most obvious.
Grand Jewels (5,000 gp or more): clearest bright green emerald; diamond; jacinth; ruby
But they are not very exciting. They are essentially condensed cash. There isn't much use for them except as money and some spell components. Those gemstones become a great deal more interesting if they are the same value of Onyx. It's still a lot of money, but if the local Necromancers hear that a PC is carrying a sack of Onyx around with him, there will be trouble.
Alchemical items are more interesting too.
The ideal thing for weight vs. value is Black Powder. It has 0 weight for 10gp worth, obviously this scales, so a barrel load of black powder must be worth an astronomical amount of cash. Enough cash for PCs, bandits, everyone to be interested in.
Unfortunately, there are hazards associated with carrying a barrel of black powder around with you...
If you want a barrel of alchemical agents that are extremely valuable but horribly dangerous there are plenty of fun options!
-Alchemical Glue Accelerant: weight 0, 25gp/dose. Mind your fingers!
My favourite has to be this, you can make an adventure from transporting this terrible, terrible chemical:
-Defoliant: weight 0, 30gp a shot. It comes in concentrate, you have to water it down. 1 diluted flask kills all plants in 5x50 foot squares! You can destroy an entire knigdom's farms with one barrel!
Trade goods basically
Something that you can sell back for it's value in gold.
I get to fill a haversack full of some kind of monetary valuable.
And gold and platinum were a little weak so i'm looking for the biggest bang for the buck.
No magical items, no weapons, no armor, no alchemical items.
In the ueg it said that gems are 50 pieces to the pound and star sapphires are worth 2500 per gem a piece base price a haversack holds 120 pounds of goods so...
If my math is right that is 15000000gp worth of goods.
Does that sound right?
Can anyone come up with a better thing to get a lot of?
Revealing pictures of Merisiel, I hear Valeros is paying big for those.
Sewing needles, they are 5sp each, and about 2" x .05" so you can pack in the available 12 cubic feet, about 4000000 or 2 Million in gold worth.
Good luck in selling them.
