Same thing with bricks,.

Again, I don't wanna be the PAX who gets his skulled cracked open should your bag come flying out of the overhead during a nasty bought of turbulence or if you drop it while your pulling it out of the bin.
So 40 lbs of dense gold is permitted, but a less dense brick or rock is not? Would a gold brick be permitted? Or a rock with some gold in it?

(And I can think of some rocks that are considered more valuable than gold)
