There's a large gap between the sink's edge and the countertop. This gap is
hard to clean. If I fill it with silicone sealant, it would be easier to
clean, but wouldn't the process of scrubbing damage the somewhat flexible
sealant? Is there a sealant that is scrub proof?

As others have said, it looks like possibly the sink isn't seated
properly but I have another question.

What is the dark area *inside* the sink, opposite the dirty caulk you
are probably referring too? Look straight into the picture, before you
get to the fingers of the glove.

It almost looks like there is a gap there also. What is that?

Is it possible that the ceramic/porcelain piece we're looking at isn't
even part of the sink?

will see what I think that DerbyDad03 is referring to.

Yep. See it now. Looks like dirt. Likely mildew. Pull the sink as
others suggest. Fix it, even adjust the plumbing when the sink is
re-seated.

Water is going somewhere from splashes...
