Tera Marble Mortar and Pestle Set Small Bowl Solid Stone Grinder Spice Herb Grinder Pill Crusher (Black, Diameter 4.64")

What I love about this mortar/pestle:Everything! Size (inside depth & width), weight (stays in place during use), durability (what it's made of), size (fits in my hand comfortably), color (coordinates with my kitchen).I used to have a set that was made of a lesser quality & the pestle broke. This was my replacement. I like it a lot.Make sure you hand wash if you purchase. It cleanser up fast & easy.

I got this set of mortar and pestle after reading others’ reviews. This is indeed useful to have. I used them for grinding chili peppers. I used them for grinding pine nuts and basil leaves for making pesto. It is a little too small for processing a big batch but works fine for grinding spices. It is sturdy. There is a liner on the bottom of the mortar so that it gets good traction. I like the gray black marble pattern of mortar and pestle. There is a coating on the external side of mortar so it is scratch resistant.

very heavy and good quality

This is a good, heavy mortar and pestle. Outside of the bowl measures 5 1/2 inches in diameter, inner edge is 4 1/4 inches diameter. I use it for grating dried herbs and eggshells, and it works well. Remember to "season" it first so you don't get little pieces of it in your food.

I really like the color and the quality of this mortar and pestle. I haven’t used it since it’s a birthday present for a dear friend. He enjoys cooking and creating dishes, so I really feel like he’s going to appreciate the durability of this product. It was a great value for the money.

This is much heavier and larger than I thought. It's good quality, sturdy and works well. But it is a bit hard to use do to the size and weight. Texture is smooth, but this is more for larger ingredients.

I needed a small mortar and pestle that was stone and this one fits perfectly. Great if you want to grind up some peppercorns, saffron, cumin seed etc. I was curious about the radioactivity of this granite (all granite has naturally occurring radioactivity).My background is 0.07 μSv/h.The mortar (4.6") is 0.11 μSv/hMy granite countertop is 0.26 μSv/h.The meaning of these numbers is I live in a low radiation area, the mortar has very low radioactivity and I probably should not sleep on my granite counters.Happy grinding, it's a keeper.

Nice quality and finish, the rubber on the bottom is a nice addition
