What is a gamma unit?

Gamma is a historical, non-SI mass unit equal to one microgram, used for expressing very small masses in fields like geochemistry and toxicology.

What does the Shekel (Biblical Hebrew) represent?

Shekel (Biblical Hebrew) is an ancient Near Eastern unit of mass used in Israelite commerce and ritual, traditionally estimated at about 11.3 grams.

Why convert from gamma to Shekel (Biblical Hebrew)?

This conversion helps relate modern microgram-level masses to historical units for research in archaeology, biblical history, and ancient commerce.
