Do I need to season the Celtic Mortar & Pestle before first use?

Yes. Rinse and dry, then grind small batches of dry white rice until the powder stays white (discard between batches). This helps remove stone dust. You can finish by grinding a pinch of salt to deodorize. Lightly oil the exterior only if you want extra sheen.

Is soapstone food-safe and will it retain flavors or odors?

Soapstone is a dense, low-porosity natural stone that’s food-safe. It resists staining and absorbs minimal flavors. For best purity—especially if you also blend resins or ritual mixtures—keep separate sets for edible and non-edible use.

What can I grind in it, and can it handle hot or acidic ingredients?

It’s great for dried herbs, whole spices, seeds, and small batches of pastes. Let hot ingredients cool before grinding, and avoid long contact with very acidic items (like vinegar or lemon) which can dull the finish over time.

How should I clean and care for the mortar and pestle?

Hand-wash with warm water; use mild soap sparingly and avoid soaking or dishwashers. Dry thoroughly after each use. If textures feel slick, re-season with dry rice. Avoid harsh abrasives, and use a non-slip pad under the base to protect counters.

What are the size and natural variations I should expect?

The set is approximately 2.5" x 4", making it compact and easy to handle. Because it’s carved from natural black soapstone, each piece features unique color variations and veining; slight differences in weight and pattern are normal.
