I felt it again, and again, and I stopped. I felt the hone with my finger and felt a speck that didn't really belong there. I looked at the bevel and saw an aberration in the stria, a scratch.
I cleaned the Smiths from the hone and ran a piece of 800 wet/dry over the surface and everything seemed Jake.
Does anyone know what may have happened?
Thanks

That was probably just a flawless 3 carat diamond you just pulverized and flushed down the drain. You never know about those inclusions.

Sir, may I offer you a diamond-studded Jnat? I'll make you a good price on it and there are more than pictured!
