We noticed our kitchen's granite countertop has a very small (grain
size) chip/dent in it. Besides looks, I am afraid it may get larger.
What would be the best way to deal with it? Ignore? Try to seal it, and
if so with what? Thanks.

Whoever wrote that is clueless, just trying to stir the pot.
Your crack can be fixed relatively easily. The $250 you were quoted is
probably not out of line if the work is done properly.

Hi,
Go to a marble and rock place where you get kitchen counter tops. They
have fillers that color match and can help you out. We had a similar
issue in that when they fitted one counter top there was a 3 milimeter
gap between the granite and the tile on one edge of the counter. The
gap was also only about 2 cm in length. They fixed it by slipping in
this filler compound. Not sure what it is but it looks pretty good and
unless you look like from 4 inches away you will never notice it.
Best, Mike.
