Does a lower grade mean the stone is less durable?

Not necessarily. The grading system for natural stone is primarily based on aesthetics and visual consistency rather than structural durability. A Commercial Grade granite slab is generally just as hard and durable as a Premium Grade slab, though it may have more visual imperfections.
