Cracks in the Stone slab the whole thing is made out of. You can see the same cracks in all the other rings. They're part of the stone slab, not the rune.
However, that one rune has more and greater cracks than any other rune on the slab. Part of me agrees with you and thinks they're nothing more than just residual cracks from the rune being "stamped", but another part of me wonders if there is something more to it, ie. a sundering of the whole. Is that one really empty? It looks like a fainter version of the upper left rune if you look closely, but it could be residual from a rune removed from the slab, which also may account for the larger cracks if the removal of the rune compromised the slab.
