Great question!
Chalk is just a kind of soft rock. Try googling 'natural chalk.' You will see many different sized pieces. Looking at those pictures, can you say what "one chalk" is? Is it one bucket of chalk? One handful of chalk? One chunk of chalk? A little nugget of chalk? No one knows what "one chalk" is, so it's uncountable.
Nowadays, chalk almost always comes in sticks, so we say a stick of chalk.
