slate is usually calibrated, e.g.
All of our grey slate from Brazil is machine calibrated with a flat rear side. This is an important factor as it will save you money on your installation costs as you will not have to select thicker tile first and you will use less adhesive.

Many more examples on Google, which I'm sure you are aware of. It can also be non-calibrated (which doesn't seem to be your case either), so I would suggest translating it literally.
