8.6 inch Molcajete Mortar and Pestle with Pig Design, Mexican Handmade with Lava Stone Ideal as Herb Bowl, Spice Grinder, Volcanic Stone

It's such a gorgeous piece. I am almost hesitant to use it vs placing it as a show piece. The bowl is a perfect size for my use, wonderful lava stone material, and very sturdy. Even the pestle is ergonomic, of the same hard material, and beautiful like the mortar. I can even feel/see the chisel marks around the exterior of the basin and the natural unevenness at the top of the bowl (pictured). That's definitely a 'real stone' material hint. It even smells good. Unsure what else the seller sells, but there's a wonderful scent emanating from it. Just a little happy bonus there! Wonderful buy!

Very impressed with the quality and detail. It’s very large and has good weight to it.

Excelente Calidad.Llegó en buenas condiciones, Es de un buen tamaño, Está hondo o profundo excelente para qué Pueda caber más salsa.

I just got this and I am plessed

Like a few others, this unit came in damaged with one leg broken off. The paper packing around it just isn't sufficient for the travels from the seller to the buyer. It was a bit disappointing but I decided to glue it and see if it would hold. After seasoning it, cleaning it, and making a fresh batch of salsa it held on its own. I am good with keeping it and feel the "blemish" is part of its uniqueness. The pestle is a bit wide and may be a little awkward for some people.

Bought as a gift. Didn't realize there is a seasoning process before you can use it. Several methods are available online. It does take some elbow grease to go through the process and I did feel it for a few days...Not indicative of this maker, just the product in general. Well made and very heavy. Will certainly spice up your parties and make for a festive serving dish as well!!!

I ordered the thinking it was gonna be original. Like it says it is not an original volcanic rock. It is a painted clay like rock. The first one I had was sent back because I had a big spot in the middle of it. And the hole was just too big to use. When I got the resend, there was a big spot on the out of the bowl. And I could see inside and it looks like it was made of clay. I sent it back for not being authentic. It is very heavy.I don't believe it's gonna be a good grinder.With all the holes in itIT HAS BEEN 2 WEEKS SINCE RETURNING THIS AND STILL HAVEN'T RECEIVED REFUND! VERY AGGERVATING AND NOT EXPECTING A REFUND FOR ANOTHER 2 WEEKS! STAY AWAY FROM THIS SELLER

Love it. It was def. work to season it, but so worth it. Foods taste so much better made in this. 👍🏽
