GLASS CRYSTAL LABEL STAINS?
How does one remove the faint stain or etching left from the label on NOS glass crystals? I was fortunate to find some NOS beveled glass crystals but after washing the label off this stain has been left.
Thank you.

Follow the posts Tom mentioned here is one source for cerium oxide polish to remove the etching on crystals:

I have used a Pithwood block faced on one side with a water+Cerium Oxide Paste. As I use it more and more, it gets better and better at polishing the label marks out of watch crystals.
