Pestle

This pestle has a tear drop shape and is predominantly white with traces of black / dark grey; igneus / volcanic. The handle and base are very defined; about 4 inches down the handle. The stone becomes half an inch thicker and tapers gradually wider to the base. Base has starchy residue- perhaps from grinding.
