Unit of gold purity (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

carat

(Other definitions for carat that I've seen before include "Gem weight unit" , "Gemstone weight unit" , "Unit of measurement for the proportion of gold in an alloy" , "Unit of weight for gems or purity of gold" , "Weight of ice" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, The Times and the Evening Standard.
