4" Green Marble Mortar and Pestle Latch There is a small doorThis 4" green mortar and pestle is made of rare green marble. Hence the higher price than our soapstone items. We usually get a high demand for marble, and it always sells out. Hence the limited numbers. It is polished except for the bottom of the mortar and the end of the pestle, for friction to be more effective. As it is actual marble, it is dense for its size. This item is imported from India.
