Product Description

Thirstystone quarries their sandstone for the Coasters in the Southwestern United States using the most environmentally conscious methods to extract the sandstone boulders that will be crafted into Thirstystone coasters. Thirstystone Sandstone Coasters are among the finest in the world, due to their incredible absorbing ability. The unusual nature of the porous sandstone literally absorbs messy drips from beverages without leaking onto furniture. They also do not lose their ability to absorb over time. The Coasters come in a set of 4, with each one being 4" in diameter and 3/8" thick. Each has a cork back so as not to scratch surfaces.

Over the years I've used cheap cork coasters, folded kitchen towels, and nothing at all under my sweaty beverage glasses. These Thirstystone Coasters are beautiful and do the job... well worth the money according to this penny pincher.

This review is from: Dragonfly Parchment Sandstone Thirstystone Coasters

As have other reviewers, I did experience grit residue from the stone on my tables and I did find the cork bottom to be way off-center on every coaster. This was not really a surprise. And the "picture" on the stone was off center too but again I can live with it. As for the edges scratching the table, that hasn't happened to me yet though the package does warn you about the possibility. No, none of this was surprising. What was surprising was the absorbency or should I say lack of. On every one of my coasters I've found that the condensation from my glasses simply sits on top of the coaster without being absorbed! Over a period of 30 minutes or so the droplets do appear to get absorbed somewhat, but I was expecting a faster response. On a really humid day I could see the condensation from a glass overwhelming the slow absorption of the coaster and the excess spilling onto the table. It's a shame, but these are a bit of a disappointment....
