I read reviews that said their Black Granite Mortar &Pestle arrived broken. Well a sale prompted me to purchase it anyway. And I'm Glad I took a chance, because this is Beautiful and Sturdy and exactly what I wanted.
The outside is shiny and polished and the inside is rough, as is needed to grind items. The size is just right. 7 inch diameter is quite big enough when the item is this heavy! Lol!
By the way, this was Packaged Impeccably, in that it was Triple Boxed and Bubble Wrapped. Unless someone drops this from very high up or drops it on tile or concrete, it will not break! It's Solid Granite!
Now this is my comment so far... If something goes wrong I'll update this review at the time. But I sincerely doubt I'll have to make any changes to my review!
I will also add, You Must Season /Condition the Mortar & Pestle! I believe crushing dry rice several times will get it ready for use. But do your research and precisely follow directions for the type of stone/material in which your mortar and pestle are derived.
An item like this is an investment. I haven't always had one. This is a very useful in the kitchen. I'm looking forward to enjoying this for decades.

But this now!
I am very particular about the items I allow in my kitchen and I must say that I am very impressed with this item. It is large, sturdy, well made and a breeze to clean. The only reason that I did not give it 5 stars is because it arrived with a chip on the top rim due to the less than adequate packaging.

I've thoroughly enjoyed using this mortar and pestle. It's a good size, can find around 2-3 cups in volume. Picture attached is the difference between red curry paste attempted in a food processor vs w mortar and pestle. It very quickly smears things to my desired consistency, vs running the food processor for prolonged period of time and still having a fine chop. More recently have been mashing ginger, green onion, garlic and salt together to go on chicken or fish--super tasty and simple mix!
Seasoning it was fairly straightforward, spent 20-30 minutes or so pulverizing dry rice followed by salt w oil to be sure there wasn't any rock dust still. It's heavy, but then it is a rather large chunk of rock! It's beautiful too, I am very happy w my choice of the dark granite.
