I pretty much use boiled linseed oil to finish everything I make. You can just wipe on with a brush or rag and it's basically impossible to mess up. It brings out the natural color and grain nice without looking overdone. Personally, I don't like clear coat unless it is satin or flat. I think shiny furniture takes away from the natural beauty and loses some of the grain in the glare. This satin clear coat works pretty good I've found and is water based and easy to clean up: https://www.amazon.com/Minwax-64444444-Polycrylic-Protective-Semi-Gloss/dp/B000PRNXNY I've used it on 5-6 tables now and I'm always happy with the look and durability. You can do 2-3 coats and sand with 220 briefly in between coats to get the finish super smooth.
Anyways, you have a really cool slab and it's going to make a beautiful table no matter how you decide to finish. :)
I would suggest practicing on a piece of scrap wood if you do want to add color. I think it look lovely as is though!
As for the finish, I use this:
