ÄDELSTEN Marble Pestle and Mortar (black) (10 H x 14 Dia cm)

This is a marble mortar and pestle. The pestle has two sides (one flat and one rounded), which I alternate depending on what I'm crushing. The mortar also has two surfaces, the hollow one, and the one on the base, which is is a bit concave and perfect for dry spices. 

 

I forgot to wash it the first time I used it, and the black surface shed some black 'dust'. Ain't sure whether the black colour is that of the marble or something added on, so I would have liked this being clearly stated. 

 

The set is heavy, at least for me, so I would not put it on a feeble surface. I think this might have been compensated if the based had been made of solid timber or bamboo.
