I just purchased this great looking soapstone mortar and pestle set from 10 000 Villages, a free trade store. Before actually using it, I was just scratching the inside of the mortar with the pestle, making lines... and I noticed that this created a white dust. Is it safe to ingest this dust if it is created when I grind up herbs, garlic, etc? You might ume that because it was sold, that it would be safe... If anyone has confirmation that this is so, I'd love to hear it. Thanks!
