DescriptionHeavy gray/black stone pounder. Generally cylindrical in shape although one side is almost flat, as is one end. The opposite end is rounded and the opposing side is rounded at the ends with an indent in the middle. Stone is roughest at points surrounding the indent. Stone is otherwise rather smooth especially on the two sides lateral to the flattened side which are slightly darker in color.
