Hey gang, Not sure if this has come up before, but there has been the technology, for some years now, to micro-laser engrave diamonds :

You need super high magnification (microscope?) to read it. So for example, some insurance companies require this if you want to insure an expensive ring/stone. The diamond could be traced by a serial # or whatever.
If any of y'all are finding larger diamonds, do you ever take them to a jeweler to deduce if there's such a # or ID ? Ie.: in the same way we md'rs sometimes like to reunite class rings, for instance.
Or perhaps if you went to try to sell a nice diamond ring, and if someone ever DID find an ID on the buying end: Wouldn't that make you guilty now of a crime ? Ie.: possession of someone else's property. That would fall afoul of lost & found laws which every state has, after all.
I'm mostly a land hunter. So sad to say I've never found a diamond over ~1/3 carat.
