Susan,

    You can smooth out the small chips with a fine Diamond coated point
    placed in your flex shaft machine.  Make sure you keep the stone wet
    and use a light touch since the Diamond will grind the stone
    quickly. 

    Once you have the chips removed you can polish the area with a hard
    felt point or wheel charged with Cerium Oxide. Once again keep the
    stone wet and make sure the Cerium Oxide is not too runny or pasty. 

Good Luck
