About the Units
The carat (ct) is a unit of mass equal to 0.2 grams, used for gemstones. The atomic mass unit (u or Da) is used to measure atoms and molecules. Converting carats to atomic mass units illustrates the vast difference between an object visible to the naked eye (like a diamond) and the atoms that compose it.
