Question:

crusher- What's it called?

Does anyone know what it is called? The thing that a pharmacist used to crush pills, the old fashion way. It is like a thick glass bowl with a glass thing thats used to stir and crush pills?

Answer:

I think its a phentermine.
a mortar and pestle.
Mortar and pestle? You use it in cooking too to crush spices and herbs. Mortar is the bowl and pestle is the stick. Usually made of marble or ceramic or wood. BTW marble is no good for citrus as the acid eats away at it. I have learnt this recently to the detriment of my lovely Vietnamese Marble souvenir!
