I've ground spices in the Vitamix. Vitamix has a container and blade assembly designed for pulverizing grains. Note the upward angle of the blade:
The blades are designed to push dry ingredients away from the blades to prevent packing. I've also used it to "grate" hard cheese, like pecorino romano, reggiano, etc.
I've had the container for about six years and, thus far, have not observed any "clouding." Maybe it's yet to come, but thus far the container looks almost like new.
