About the Units
The carat (ct) is a unit of mass strictly used for gemstones and is equal to 0.2 grams. The metric ton (tonne) is a unit for heavy industrial mass equal to 1,000 kilograms (1,000,000 grams). Because of this massive difference in scale, you need exactly five million carats to make just one metric ton.
