Hello, I was wondering whether someone could help me with the following.
I recently bought a new house and have added a stone floor, now my girlfriend found some nice stone coasters with a print on it, that's a slight lighter tint then the stone it is on.

Now I have some stone left from my floor, and the stone is basically the same color, so I was wondering if there is a way for me to create something similar by using a simple technique to get the same effect.
There doesn't appear to be any tools used to engrave it in the stone, so it must be some sort of chemical they used to lighten the stone in that pattern.
Anyone have any idea? Would be nice to use the remainder of the stone to make similar items or as a house number.
Thanks in advance
