Diamond Drag Engraving

Diamond drag engraving or scratch engraving is the most common type of engraving. The process involves dragging a diamond across the material without using a spindle motor. The diamond removes the top layer of material to expose the bare metal underneath (gold if brass, silver if aluminum). If the material has a clear coating the engraved area can be oxidized to blacken it and provide a contrast to the background. If done well, diamond drag engraving can pass for hand engraving.

Diamond Drag Engraving is primarily used on metals.

The CNC accuracy of our equipment allows us to produce engravings that are clean and crisp. These engravings are indelible, add no contamination from inks or solvents and are difficult for counterfeiters to duplicate.

Is whale sperm valuable?

Occasionally, sperm whales dump out hundreds of pounds of the stuff at a time. From there, ambergris has to float around in the ocean for decades, where it has to harden to become valuable. Why is it so valuable? Because it's used in the high-end fragrance industry.

theweek.com - The 8-year-old who discovered a $65000 piece of whale poop

Charlie Naysmith, 8, was strolling with his dad along the beach in New Zealand when he stumbled on what he thought was a funny-looking rock. The rock was quite compelling, thanks to its surprisingly light weight and faint waxy texture, so young Charlie decided to take it home. As it turns out, the weird rock was actually not a rock at all, but an incredibly rare substance called ambergris, which is, essentially, a very valuable piece of whale poop. Charlie's 1.3-pound piece of ambergris is estimated to be worth somewhere around $65,000. Here's what you should know:

What is ambergris exactly?

There's a "popular misconception of ambergris as whale vomit," molecular biologist Christopher Kemp tells ABC News. In truth, ambergris is "poop." But it's very rare poop. Creating a chunk of ambergris requires "one unlikelihood piled on top of another," says Kemp, and "only one percent of the 350,000 sperm whales [on Earth] can actually make it." Ambergris is essentially made out of a fatty substance that protects a whale's intestines when they feast on hard substances like the beaks of squids. Occasionally, sperm whales dump out hundreds of pounds of the stuff at a time. From there, ambergris has to float around in the ocean for decades, where it has to harden to become valuable.

Why is it so valuable?

Because it's used in the high-end fragrance industry. Ambergris was the main ingredient in a super-expensive, 200-year-old perfume originally made by Marie Antoinette. And today, perfume companies like Chanel and Lanvin use it to "fix scent to human skin," says Johnna Rizzo at National Geographic. A few ounces of the stuff can go for a few thousand dollars, earning it the nickname "floating gold."
