			 than 1/8 inch in diameter or depth; except those caused by pulled stems where
			 the skin is not torn beyond the stem basin. (Healed skin breaks shall be
			 handled as scars.);
(b) Heat injury
			 or internal browning, which is extensive and shows dark discoloration of the
			 flesh;
(c) Healed growth cracks
			 shall be considered on the same basis as heavy russet;
(d) Sunburn which has materially changed the
			 normal color of the fruit, or has caused the skin to blister or
			 crack;
(e) Split pit which affects
			 the fruit to an extent that the shape is not well formed;

			 aggregating more than ten percent of the fruit surface; or excessively rough
			 russeting or scars when aggregating more than 3/16 inch in diameter;
