Abstract
News editors obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors:“Traditional gemstones are cut to maximize an amount of light that passes and is reflected throughthe gemstone, resulting in increased brightness and fire of the gemstone. The brightness and fire can beincreased by increasing a number of facets in the gemstone, and by minimizing a size of a culet. Gemstonesmay also be inscribed with a marking to identify the gemstone. However, these markings are traditionallyinscribed at a small size to make invisible without magnification of the marking. Generally, these markingsrequire over 10 x magnification to be seen so as to not affect the aesthetic of the gemstone. Accordingly,special equipment is necessary for a person to view the marking on the gemstone.”
