Laser Manufacturing Remnants (LMR) refer to

Laser Manufacturing Remnants (LMR) refer to

• A. A method of grading diamond flaws regardless of laser
• B. Internal fractures (inclusions) or surface grooves (blemishes) created as a result of laser marking or manufacturing.
• C. A decorative engraving technique
• D. A measurement unit for laser power

Answer: (B)

Laser processing used in diamond manufacturing or marking can leave traces of damage where the laser interacted with the stone. These traces, called Laser Manufacturing Remnants, are the remnants of that laser work and show up as internal fractures or surface grooves that can be seen under magnification. They are not a method for grading flaws, not decorative engraving, and not a unit of laser power. Knowing that these remnants come from the manufacturing process helps explain why they appear and how they might affect clarity if visible.
