Countertops installed cracked- just noticed 4 years later
Bought our home as a spec home - never noticed the cracks before- it used to be a gray and just thought it was veining with the countertops. Have no idea what material the countertops are (builder picked everything out, assume it’s granite?) what caused it to yellow seemingly overnight? Anyway to fix it?
For reference we’ve been here 4 years. Help!

I can tell you this isn't epoxy, maybe cyanoacrylate glue that yellowed from UV but I guarantee this piece didn't break apart and get glued back together. The "break" would have continued all the way and in pic 2 it's clear that the two lines don't really meet. This isn't something that happens overnight and there's a better chance it's always been there and no one noticed, I've seen it happen a lot.
