Q. I recently had a scratch removed from my stone, but now I see a divot. Can this be fixed?

A. What happened is when the contractor removed the scratch, the diamond pad wasn't positioned flat and consequently left the divot. The good news is that it can be fixed, but the bad news is the cost will probably be more than it was to fix the scratch in the first place, because the whole area will have to be rehoned to a flat even surface, then polished.
