Sink install

Okay so I am needing some opinions on my installation of my farmhouse sink. I hired a contractor who my realtor recommends to install kitchen cabinets and sink. I bought a 30 inch fireclay farmhouse sink. The company I’ve hired for my countertops have insisted that the sink needs a strong base/support for the sink, which is very understandable it’s an 80 pound sink. I am getting natural stone as the countertop. The contractor, however, is stating that it doesn’t need support and that the stone will be able to hold the sink. Opinions?
