Harold Import Co 43777 HIC Mushroom Mortar and Pestle Set, Solid Carrara Marble, White

This is not made of Carrara marble. The packaging says it was made in Taiwan. Marble not white, grey and low quality.

Very low quality.. it is already broken. Please avoid.

This was smaller than we expected but better because of it as not so balky and room hog. Grinds nicely. Happy with it.

Excelente 👌🏼 muy bonito Buen tamaño y finos terminados . Lo único malo fue la entrega . Solo lo aventaron en la cochera a las 10:30 de la noche .( menos mal q no se rompió )

This is a great product especially if you have a pet that needs medication in the form of a pill. And that said pet fights you every time you have to give them a one or two pills. I found the best way to combat that was to buy this mortar and pestle and crush up the pills and put in their food. It worked like a charm. This mortar and pestle is easy to use and a really nice looking product. It is a little heavy but I believe it is the marble that makes it so.

Where has this thing been all my life...?? I am a Pink Mediterranean Sea Salt Junkie... lol And this is the perfect Grinder for it. I buy it coarse & grind it up into all different kinds of textures. It really brings out that gentle crunchiness Pink Sea Salt brings to the table. I've seen the mixed reviews here, & if you feel yours really was not made right, I would definitely send it back for an exchange. Mine didn't arrive perfect, because these are hand crafted, but it didn't arrive with the glaring defects in workmanship that others are experiencing. If it doesn't look right, you should be able to exchange it for one that is. Mine looks, operates, & fits together fine. Some people are concerned that they are eating finely ground marble along with their salts or spices. I see what they mean, but there's probably actually more of that same material in my Sea Salts, than is coming off of my Grinder. According to the Wikipedia, "Limestone is a sedimentary rock, composed mainly of skeletal fragments of marine organisms such as coral, forams, and molluscs. Its major materials are the minerals calcite and aragonite, which are different crystal forms of calcium carbonate (CaCO3)." Calcium Carbonate is commonly used in Calcium supplements & dietary antacid tablets. So like Sea Salts...it is organic. If you don't like the texture of your ground spices or salts, practice with it. You'll get better at using it over time. When you grind, work things around in small circles around the curve of the bowl. The more I experiment with mine, I get a better feel for it, and the nicer & more interesting my textures are coming out. The one con I have for this item is that it arrived with a major crack in the marble that runs down one side. It is otherwise well-made, but I hope it does not crack all the way across & break apart over time. I'm not exchanging it because other than this it is well-made.
