Never been sealed :-)

Like I said, Granite (or gabbro, or basalt!) I can believe.

Quartz?

"Quartz worktops are made of pieces of natural stone bonded together
with a small amount of adhesive."

Why do they make kitchen worktops of limestone, which would be attacked
by vinegar or lemon juice? Maybe it's just as well they don't make
"marble effect" tops of petrological marble, as the same would apply.
What's the matter with Formica?

Maeble and other stones have good thermal mass. This is occasionally
imporatnt. Marble slabs are oten used for pastry rolling

TBH the only two really bombproof worksurface finishes are silicate
stone or stainless steel.

Ther is one artificail one that is good - Coram? then for me just get
bog standard coated chip.

If its going to get wet and dirty
Wood is OK but it doesnt take that sort of treatment.
