Re: Scratch on crystal?

: When I run my finger over the scratch, I

: there any way to possibly polish this out?

First of all, you can not polish out scratches on a sapphire crystal. Once it is damaged it must be replaced. That being said, are you sure you have an actual scratch? You said you can't feel "depth", so I assume this means that you can't feel the scratch???

If you can't feel it, are you certain it is really there? In reality, only something as hard as a diamond could scratch that crystal. Titanium is strong and lightweight, but it is certainly not as hard as diamond.
