K is the karat designation used for gold. c is the carat weight designation used for weighing precious and semi-precious stones. smh.com.au Your issue is really with the Australians who called this nugget a nugget, not with me. The reporter's name is Robbins I believe. And his fact checker and editor both said he was using the word nugget correctly. Good luck changing the mateys' minds. LOL I did not use 7.8K as a cwt designation, 7.8K is a karat PURITY calculation. If you were to use cwt correctly, it would not be 7.8cwt anyhow. In metric language, 286kg caratage would covert & be 1,430,000c In troy language, the 286kg caratage would be 1,395,000c a far cry from your misrepresented "7.8cwt" utterance. convert-me.com I used neither. I repeat: I used the 7.8K as a purity of gold in original host rock weight, and I used it correctly. now, if we're talking cattle on the hoof in a futures contracts...ayup...we're talking cwt there...as in c=100 or hundredweight.
