Mortar and Pestle

Mortar and pestle newbie here. I've finally decided to take the mortar and pestle plunge, but not sure which one to get. What mortar and pestle material do you think is best? All mortar and pestle advice is welcome.

Marble.

Get one of the ones with rough walls inside so it's easier to paste vegetables.

I bought a granite one like this at an international market and really like it. I think I paid @ $15 for it.

What are these even for

cooking

I had a marble one and liked it very much. get the bigger one than you think you need. I wished I would have but mine was a christmas gift so I didn't choose it, but was still happy with it

I have that exact one, it has been a nice companion for the last 4 years now

what do you guys crush in these?

marble is the gold standard, but ceramic works fine for me

cloves, black pepper, white pepper, and whatever else that might need crushed
