Mine is not from this particular company, mine being green granite and about
6-1/2" ID. But, I wish now I'd gone bigger. I'd go with the 8" unless you
might have trouble lifing it. Then get the 7". These babies are not for
lightweights, as the pestle alone weighs at least a couple lbs. But, that's
the beauty of them. Once you get that pestle moving downwards, ain't no seed
nor nut nor anything gonna resist. Were talking serious pulverization,
here. We're talking the hardest seed to DUST!! in just a few blows. Those
other mealy-mouthed pussy French and faux marble M&Ps make you do all the
work. Not Thai granite. We're talking a rock and a hard place!

I'm tellin' ya', these things are a hoot. Great way to work out your
frustrations. Die! fennel seed, die! They're the superhero of spice
grinders. The Incredible Hulk of M&Ps! I don't even mess with table or
kosher salt anymore. I just crush rock salt to the desired grade. Same
with whole pepper. Big fun!
