The largest diamond found in more than a century has been unearthed at a mine in Botswana, and the country’s president showed off the fist-sized stone to the world at a viewing ceremony Thursday.
The Botswana government says the huge 2,492-carat diamond is the second-biggest ever discovered in a mine. It’s the biggest diamond found since 1905.
I just want to know what genius named carats and karats ostensibly the same thing, especially when both are related to jewellery, but one means purity and the other is just a measure of weight
It’s intentional to sow confusion. That way you just defer to the nice, good-looking sales person at your local jewelry store to tell you what is valuable and don’t question the cartel pricing and artificial scarcity.
Reminds me of how those malls would have two or three jewelry stores in the middle, right across from each other, and they were all owned by the same company!
There’s worse: 1 Calorie = 1000 calorie
Isn’t that some American BS? Every non American food I’ve had was measured in Kilocalories
I’m from France. Food packaging uses kcal but I’ve seen articles about diets and stuff use Cal.
The pet food lists kcals/can for whatever it’s worth. I live in the US.
Mmmmm, carrots
Im a carets man, myself ^^
