CARAT

Fineness of gold is very often shown in carat. The best fineness of 999, 9 is equal to 24 carat. The fineness of 750 is equal to 18 carat and so on and so forth. Thus the fineness of gold items can be stated simply as 750 or as 18 carat.

The notion of carat can also be applied to precious stones. But in this case carat does not show fineness. It shows weight. It is a measure of weight. When applied to precious stones carat means the following:

1 carat = 0, 2 gram

5 carat = 1 gram

10 carat = 2 grams etc.

There are only four precious stones, they are as follows: diamond, ruby (red colour), emerald (green colour), sapphire (blue colour).

Diamond is a brilliant precious stone of pure carbon in crystallized form. It is the hardest substance known. Rough diamonds are widely used in industry.

Besides there are a lot of semiprecious stones, like amethyst, granate, and many others.
