Why Would I Seal?
Most natural stone that is porous enough to absorb water or oil born stains is benefited with a protective sealer.
The reason for using sealers is to prevent staining and damage in freeze and thaw areas.
Most sealers called "impregnating sealers" have a carrier that delivers the protective molecules into the stone and do not change the stones appearance.
These sealers have water, alcohol, or petroleum based products as a carrier to deliver the water/oil resistant sealer into the stones surface.
Some sealers have a warranty that is given by an 'accredited applicator' or just the product itself.
Nobody complains if there aren't any problems.
It's called insurance!
The main reason to seal natural stone is to make cleaning easier and to prevent stains.
