Diamonds are the only thing I know of that can scratch a cyclops...

You may want to just remove the cyclops ~ !

I was told by a friend who is educated in gemology, and who tested his cyclops with a hardness testing kit, the cyclops is in fact sapphire. So, my guess is the scratches are residue of something that scraped against your cyclops, that can be removed. Either that, or a diamond ring did it, in which case they could be scratches.

cyclops

Not being a fan of the cyclops I think removing is a good idea. Though I didn't realise that in doing so it turns your second hand red.
