Why a sandstone coaster leaves the table dry

A glass of iced tea sweats a ring of water in minutes. On glass or plastic that water sits and runs off the edge. On sandstone it goes into the stone. The rock is sand grains cemented together, and the gaps between the grains pull the drip in and let it dry out later, so the next glass goes down on a dry face.

Most sets on this shelf are 4 inch rounds with a cork back that keeps the stone off your wood. The square 4 inch set comes in Cinnabar or Desert Sand, the monograms come in your letter, and the embossed Victorian Lace rounds run a little larger at 4 1/4 inches. Every printed design sits on real stone, so no two coasters in a box are the same shade.

Questions

Questions about Thirstystone sandstone coasters

Do Thirstystone sandstone coasters stain?

Water leaves no mark: a wet ring fades as the stone dries. Coffee, tea and red wine carry color into the stone and can leave a light tone. Keep one coaster for dark drinks if that bothers you.

What size are Thirstystone sandstone coasters?

Most are 4 inches across, round, and cork backed. The square set is 4 inches on a side, the embossed Victorian Lace rounds are 4 1/4 inches and the Beagle rounds 4 1/2.

Why does each Thirstystone coaster in your box look different?

Each one is cut from natural stone, so the bands of color and the small pits differ from coaster to coaster even under the same printed design.
