    I'd suggest Clear Gorilla Glue.

    The damage is 1 1/2" long and maybe 1/2"+ deep into the edge.  It's more than just a surface "chip"!?

    Epoxy and color, just saw installers dress up a big kitchen slab yesterday. Never see where  the chips were but then again they were not too big.

    If you decide that you can live with the damage, you can smooth sharp edges with a diamond burr.  (Ask your dentist to save a couple of used ones for you; disinfect before using.)

    It is always amazing what talented, knowledgable Craftsmen can do in their field of specialty.

    IF you managed to save the piece(s) then you can stick 'em back on with a clear epoxy.  
    If it was mine, I'd hire a pro.  They have all thee right stick 'em and colorants.

    I agree with Neo. See my post above his. Pro's know what they are doing, because they do it on a day to day basis. Professional results.

    Did you do the damage or the installer? If installer then it's their fix.

    If you got all the broken bits the options for fixes are up there.

    Now my company has a top and the fix was just colored epoxy no stone. I don't know if they didn't have the bits to epoxy back? If you got the bits epoxy it your self. If no broken bit's to epoxy I'd let the pro do it since "Color Matching" fill then sanding might be much. Or just put something bigger than the damage over it. Like a coaster.

    My kitchen has custom made counter tops using ceramic tiles.  The first time I tried to separate a stack of frozen hamburger patties by whacking them on the counter, it cracked!!  :o 

    Wish I had granite tops!
