Yes, the repair process can remove scratches on paperweights and marbles. We can repair Paperweights up to 10 lbs and marbles down to of an inch. Repairs are done by hand and it is a very precise process with a high finishing polish. Prices start at $32. Sometimes, in addition to the scratches there will be a bulls eye or crush mark on the paper weight or marble. Bulls eyes are caused by the paperweight, or marble, hitting a hard surface with force, causing internal fracturing. All the fracturing has to be removed, otherwise, when the final polish is done the fracturing that may still be there may cause more internal cracking. Or that area may pop out (and we have to start over), or our polishing compound will contaminate the glass that is left.
