    Nope don’t have it tbh I think it may have been repaired prior because it’s so small and it is like resin was placed on it to level it if you get me. Il photo when I go home but doubt it will come out it’s thats small.

    If you don't have the chip I'd suggest cleaning the area with a toothbrush or similar and a simple mix of washing up liquid and hot water to get all the grime and grease out, clean after with just hot water and then dry with a hairdryer, a run of a hoover then to pick up any small debris that may remain. Clear super glue applied into the hole with as little overspill as possible and then a Stanley blade gently kept flush to the area around the hole without scratching the stone or damaging the finish, run that gently over the glue when the glue is tacky but not fully solid. This may not give you an adequate finish on the glue so allow it fully harden then gently go over it with the very lightest sandpaper you can aquire, don't over do it. I haven't done this type of work in circa 15years so maybe there are new better ways of repairing but that's how we would have repaired a small chip anyway. Hope that helps.
