Grind Stone
Small size grind stone that it is one of the rarest among the bigger sized grind stones. It is believed to be used by a wealthy family and it was custom made their requirements. It is made from lime stone and the weight of this grind stone is roughly 2-3kg. If you look closely, you can see clear Tamil inscription on it. This particular grind stone was being used to grind herbs for medical purposes.
The rarest one, that was made with black stone!!! Toughest find and impossible to get it from that family who owns it. I am still trying my best to get my hands on it.
