how do you engrave on rocks?

Question: I am wanting to do it myself, as cheap as possible on a boulder...

Answer: If you want a rock engraved, you'll need to take it to someone that does this for a living. It's not that expensive. Basically they make a rubber "cover" for the rock. This "cover" has whatever it is that you want engraved carved through it so only the part of the rock that you want engraved is exposed. They then take a sand blaster and blast away the part that gets engraved. The rubber cover protects any part of the rock from the blasting. Once finished they remove the cover and the rock has been engraved!
