Help - Mortar & Pestle

I have always wanted a mortar & pestle and now Santa has brought me one ( a little early as I was intending to use it tomorrow).
I have had a little practice with it and found it grinds itself and produces a fine dust.
Now, none of my recipes requires granite dust and I'm pretty sure it's not one of the recommended 5 a day so how can I prevent it?
If I can't will it harm my guests or taste awful? Or should i just use it as a paperweight and go back to crushing things with a knife blade?
Thank you and a Happy Christmas.

Were you practising with it empty? If so, I think the problem will solve itself when you put something in it0

Thanks. I wondered if that would be the case.0
