Step 2: Engraving the marble
Start by rinsing the stone under running water to remove any dust. Then place the stone it into your laser engraver and focus on the surface. If the stone is rounded, focus on the average value of the engraving area. Determine and enter the laser engraver parameters. The material parameters can vary depending on laser machine and available laser power.

Step 3: Cleaning
When you are finished processing, wipe off the stone with a damp cloth. Placing the processed stone under running water could wash out the engraving dust, giving your engraving a lower contrast.
Inspiration
Add value to your laser engraved stones by engraving sayings, slogans or quotes on the stones. You can also make a gift more personal and meaningful by personalizing the stones with names or dates.
