3.4. Laser Inscription
 
Stones # 1 and # 2 both had laser inscriptions noting GIA registry numbers. AGSL noted the both laser inscription numbers on its reports and in one case assigned a stricter clarity grade.
 
EGL USA noted the inscriptions in preliminary grading data faxed to the vendor before printing the reports but did not make a comment on its reports. EGL USA gave both stones a softer color grade.
