Ratti
A traditional gem and gold weight unit equal to 1/8th of a masha (approx. 0.1215 grams).
Detailed Definition
The Ratti is historically derived from the seed of the Abrus precatorius plant, noted for its consistent mass. In bullion metrics, 1 tola equals 96 rattis (or 8 rattis per masha). Today it is primarily used in measuring natural gemstones and delicate gold filigree.
