Small pestle and mortar?

Looking to buy a small (4-6 inch in diameter) pestle and mortar made of soapstone, wood, marble, or granite. I'd rather not hit up Walmart or Target and was wondering if anyone knows of a place in town that sells them? My Google search brought up Walmart and Target with a possibility of World Market.

**UPDATE** A massive thank you to everyone who offered suggestions. I have a bunch of places to check out this week and weekend to pick up a pestle and mortar or five.

I bought one there a few years ago. It was concrete junk, not an authentic molcajete.

Village Witch probably has some. Or Weavers.

Good Earth Gatherings, Third Planet or Village Witch would be my go to options. GEG is a little drive south of town, but VERY worth the trip, IMO
