Aug 19, 2010 at 15:03 comment added awshepard @Sobachatina - Like I mentioned, there doesn't seem to be a good way to ensure the authenticity. Several people have found that their "basalt" molcajetes are actually granite or other stone. I suppose unless you're a geologist, the average user will have a hard time figuring it out. Lucky you, living in Texas :). We don't get a whole lot of meso-american influence way out here.

Aug 18, 2010 at 16:28 comment added Sobachatina I buy everything from Amazon: amazon.com/s/… but I don't know anything about mortar/pestle quality. How can you tell a good one? I live in Texas and see them for sale everywhere from Bed Bath and Beyond to Ikea made out of basalt or ceramic. Are they rare out east?
