stone or granite mortar and pestle

Posted by anada on Monday, 10. August 2009 at 15:39 Bali Time:

I need a new mortar and pestle as mine is just a bit too small. And the stone pestle after a lot of use over the years has broken in half.

The ones i've priced in Australia range between $36 - $60 for mortars with a 20mm diameter. Sounds a reasonable size but they are thick granite so the bowl is smaller than it sounds.

Can granite mortar and pestles be bought in Bali, and what price am i looking at for what size?
I don't want one made from wood.
If they can be bought in Bali, i'm wondering if i should wait and buy one there, or is it the same price to buy one in Australia?
