Key Features of the Black Soapstone Mortar and Pestle
It is sized for small batches. At 3 by 2 inches, it is right for a spoonful of herbs, a pinch of resin, or a batch of black salt.
The black glaze gives it a clean finish. The coating gives the soapstone a smooth black look on a counter or in a cabinet.
It works in the kitchen and at the altar. Kitchen witches use one mortar for both cooking and spellwork, while others keep a separate one for ritual herbs.
