Pros & Cons
Pros
At 11 lbs it is very manageable most to lift. It is heavier then my thai mortar which is wider and taller.
Grinding down the rice before your first use is absolutely necessary. Turning garlic cloves into a paste is just so satisfying. It's deep enough to grind seeds without them flying out of the bowl.
Quality, shape and usability is perfect! Perfect condition, wonderful product. Beautifully crafted. Highest quality product, very durable.
Black granite with sparkling inclusions. Gifted to a chef, says it's the nicest one she's used. Outside is nicely polished.
Cons
The stone, which seems a bit simulated, is not in the form pictured for this item. The milling in the bottom isn't an ideal shape, either. The inner bottom base is unfinished. Therefore unsafe to use.

It weighs a ton so you can feel the quality
A bit expensive but i like the quality
It still works the same im sure but the product in the picture should be the product in the box

It is one of the few things that i leave out on the counter
The item being crushed doesnt have the room to do a lot of sliding away from the pestal
Competitiveness
A lot of work for this instant gratification world
Huge bargain in a world of faux utility
Gifted to a chef says its the nicest one shes used

Not sure how this is braking on some people

We seasoned it by grinding rice until the powder looked clean which only took three grinds

The pestle was not well packaged as others have noted but thankfully nothing was chipped or cracked
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The pestle probably isnt suited for certain style of pounding also like how you would pound papaya salad with high lifting motions because i would think after awhile the pestle would chip

One thing that would improve this item is cushions on the bottom
