What is a carat used for?

A carat is a unit of mass primarily used to weigh gemstones and pearls, defined exactly as 200 milligrams and subdivided into 100 points.

What is the talent (Biblical Greek)?

The talent is an ancient unit of mass used to measure large amounts, especially of precious metals, with actual weight varying historically and regionally.

Why are carat to talent conversions so small?

Because a carat measures very small mass and a talent is a large mass unit, their conversions result in very small talent values.
