Granite weighs about 165 pounds per cubic foot
Limestone weighs about 155 pounds per cubic foot
Marble weighs about 170 pounds per cubic foot
If these are crushed then they weigh about 30 percent less due to void space.
Gravel weights about 100 pounds per cubic foot.
Take your pick

As previously said, varies with the material. Cubic yard is a volume measurement, ton is a weight measurement. So you will have to know the weight of the material by cubic foot or cubic yard in order to calculate how much it weighs. Sounds like your company should have that figured out by now, makes no sense to sell everything by weight when the customers want it by volume.

Without knowing the density of the stone your question can't be answered.

You don't. Yds3 is volume, tons is weight.
