Measure of gem weight (5)

I believe the answer is:

carat

(Other definitions for carat that I've seen before include "weight of rocks" , "Measure of gold in alloy" , "small weight" , "Unit of weight for gems or purity of gold" , "Weight of ice" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald and the Newsday.com.
