24 karat
Maximum gold purity
24 karat describes gold that is pure, containing no alloy metals.
Karat measures gold purity on a scale where 24 is the maximum—so 18-karat gold is 75% pure.
The phrase extends to anything of the highest quality or most extreme degree: a 24-karat fool, 24-karat garbage.
Also spelled 24 carat, especially in British English.
