Removing scratch marks from stone

[Cord]

I don't know what the ledge material is, but our rocks have weathered in so you can't see the scratches. The only scratch that I can still see is a bad one in a piece of granite where there was material removed from the rock. That one is permanent.

To prevent further scratches can you pry it up to get a couple logs under it as sled runners and pull from those or would that cause it to break in half?

When I was at the bluestone quarry they called it to thermal the edge
The cut edge was wet with water then they used an acyeteline torch with a rose bud tip to quickly heat the wet sawn edge.
The water would turn to Steam and pop little flakes of stone off so the saw marks disappeared and it looked natural
Obviously this would work differently on other types of rock

I've been sidetracked on this, in part because it's not going to happen until next year. I did take a picture of the rock. I put a 5 gallon gas can on it to give an idea of size. The white marks are scratches from the backhoe teeth. I'm assuming it's a chunk of granite. I'm thinking I have some old fire hose around. I can run chain through it and just drag the rock into position.
