   This is the one I bought. The reviews made it seem like it would be legit

   After 4 hours of grinding rice and salt, it STILL leaves crunchy dust particles in everything I try to make with it

   This is molcajete in question:

   It might just be a softer stone? What are you seasoning it with, rice and or garlic? Have you done the test yet to see if it holds water?

   The natural air bubbles are always a good sign, pointing to likely natural stone. (Concrete with air bubbles technically exists too, but we’ve never seen it used in molcajete manufacturing yet. )

   I would really be curious to see different molcajete stones measured on the mohs hardness scale.
