Granite, possible crack: Should I go ahead with fa

We selected and bought a slab of Madura Gold. The slab has lots of crystals, fissures and patterns. While discussing possible fabrication options at the cutting shop, I noticed a crack(?) which is filled up with a transparent material right in the middle of the slab.  It is almost invisible but I can feel it when I move my hand over it. My fabricator told me that such defects are very common for such stone type. He said 90-95% slabs would have something similar.

Is this common? Has anyone encountered such imprefections?
Should I go ahead with the fabrication and install it on our island?
Any comments and advice would be most welcome. Thanks.
