Slate
Community laser settings for this material.
Slate is a natural stone that laser engraves by ablating the dark surface to reveal a lighter, matte white mark underneath. No coating needed — the contrast is built in.
Invert your image in LightBurn for slate — dark areas in your design will be light on the finished piece. Coasters are the most popular slate blank. Some makers spray with Rustoleum crystal clear enamel first to brighten the result further.
