Thirstystone coasters are sold with cork backing in order to avoid furniture damage, although scratching may occur if the edges of the stone are rubbed against the surface.

Due to the unique nature of this naturally porous sandstone, markings, variations, and irregularities in shading, color and texture are natural and characteristic of the stone, adding to its natural beauty.

Are Thirstystone Coasters dishwasher safe?
Dishwashing is not recommended as the extreme abrasion and heat of a dishwasher will cause the natural cork backing to deteriorate.
