There have been a lot of diamond thefts in recent years, but scientists can now mark stones to show who own them. Usually this mark is 【C9】______(visible), so thieves can’t tell if a diamond is marked. 【C10】O______the people who know how to make the mark appear can tell whether a diamond is marked or not.
