The other grinding stone you mention, the molcajete, is commonly found in Mexican kitchens. It is also carved out of lava rock, or basalt. Basically it is a morter and pestle, about the size of a soup bowel and with three short legs. The rough texture, I understand, is because of the bubbles within the basalt. As the bubbles wear down, new ones appear.
It is used to grind spices and make guacamole. About 120-150 pesos at many markets.
