Working on prep work for the paint job on the truss bike when I noticed these marks on the stem. Wondering if they are stress fractures?

When I took a wire wheel to it they seemed disappear.

Any thoughts? Should be worried?
 
CeeBee is right, you wouldn't want to Face plant on the jagged stem if it broke while standing on the pedals, while peddling hard.:(
