sorry I don't know how much it cost - my friend Nyoman Oka bought it for me (it was the third one he had bought me over the years and the first I had eventually brought back!), it measures 21 cm in diameter across and weights 2.4 kg. I think they would be pretty cheap, you can buy them at the marketplaces (local markets), maybe ask at your reception how much they should cost to get a bit of an idea first, then just bargain! There are different quality - try to get one made from dark volcanic rock if you can, not one made from cement. Hope this helps.
