Gem weight (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

stone

carat

I believe this is a double definition.

'gem' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'weight?' is the second definition.
(stone is a unit of weight)

(Other definitions for stone that I've seen before include "Rag" , "Gem; Staffs. town" , "See 19" , "Hard lump of mineral matter" , "Beryl, ruby" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, The Star Tribune, the Evening Standard and the King Feature Syndicate.
