PRECISION

If you're looking for ideas, tips, and the best settings on laser engraving stone then this page should prove a valuable resource. The ability to laser engrave, mark, or etch stone as a hobbyist or as a high end product to customers opens up a wide array of possibilities. To personalize or customize a stone on top of its solid and heavy feel can translate into a higher perceived value. The great news is that quality designs and artwork transfer beautifully with surprising clarity to most stone surfaces.

In addition customers who buy a laser etched stone momento, souvenir, award and especially a memorial marker instinctively sense the item as having a durable, permanent almost timeless quality that will be referenced and enjoyed for many years to come. All of this translates into great value.

So, for these reasons laser engraving the following stone materials can dictate a higher price tag compared to other common laserable applications. Each stone reacts differently to the laser so it's best to prototype each prior to processing. The finished engraving usually provides a white finish making a good contrast against darker stones. For practical purposes unless you have a higher watt laser cutter it's not economical or efficient to laser cut stones.
