“Authentic and Very Beautiful”

Beautiful stone mortar pestle. The design is perfect and the weight is very substantial 4-5 pounds. Very nice for working with dried whole spice, herbs, and creating stone ground whole grains.

“Grand Tradition indeed”

This beautiful molcajete arrived so well packed and was shipped so quickly. I have a smaller one that I had for years and was looking for a bigger one. After curing it I made a salsa grande! Have made beautiful guacamole in it. It truly is a unique piece.
