Do quest items have weight? [duplicate]

Solution 1:

From the quest items page on the skyrim wiki:

While quest items do display a weight, they do not use up the inventory's available space.

So you don't have to worry about quest items sitting in your inventory :)

Solution 2:

You are indeed stuck with the gems without the use of console or mod if you cannot complete the quest.

There may be a mod that makes them weightless (I cannot search the steam workshop myself the coming few days).

And as @yx suggested, you can use the console if you are on PC with the command player.removeitem 0009dfbb 24.

However, since you seem to have 24 of them I'd suggest trying to turn the quest in. I do not know about the 'not having weight' since they seem to weigh me down.
