    A couple bits of feedback:
    • In 1A "CARATS" is the unit of weight for jewels (1 carat = 1/5 gram). The unit of purity for gold as in the clue is KARATS.
    • 30D and 65A is a duplicate.
    Other than those, mostly liked the longer (8- and 9-letter entries) a lot, but some of the shorter entries were a bit gluey. Thanks for posting!

      That's why I need a editor, I guess.
      I shouldnt have allowed the duplicate. But I never would have caught the carats.
