How are natural stone slabs graded in the USA?

Natural stone slabs are typically graded into categories such as First Choice (Premium or AAA/A), Standard (AA/B), and Commercial (C). These grades are based on aesthetic qualities like color uniformity and veining, as well as structural integrity, including the presence of natural flaws, fissures, or pits.
