The pestle and mortar is a tool used to crush items for use in Herblore and many quests, as well as the Sorceress's Garden minigame. It can be bought from Herbalists and certain general stores. If used to auto-crush items, it will do so every three game ticks.

Wesley in Nardah can crush unnoted or noted herblore secondary items for 50 coins per item.

Trivia

While the crushing animation should animate every three ticks in a fluid motion, it will occasionally skip a tick and replay the animation faster than intended.
