Pavement does not actually contain real uncut gemstones; instead, the "diamond" shapes or marks on roads are saw-cut grooves or induction loops created using industrial diamond blades or tools.

This leaves behind a smooth, textured pattern of tiny longitudinal grooves. • Traffic Loops (Diamond Cuts): Many roads feature diamond-shaped or diagonal saw cuts in the asphalt or concrete.
