"A Gift From Mother Nature"

Why Thirstystone? Thirstystone was natural before natural was cool! Thirstystone coasters have been made in the USA from 100% natural sandstone for the last 20 years, making Thirstystone the original "green" coaster company. Thirstystone coasters are the best natural product for absorbing messy drips from the bottom of drink glasses. The absorbent sandstone provides function, while lead-free, earth-friendly inks provide home decor accents perfect for any room. Natural cork backing to protect furniture and recyclable packaging to help protect the environment round this green offering, a proven sustainable product with a repeat customer base for the last two decades. The natural variations of sandstone color and patterns are the very characteristics that make these coasters so popular.

How We Do We Do It - Mining the Stone.... Thirstystone sandstone is quarried in the Southwestern United States using the most environmentally conscious methods to extract huge sandstone boulders that are crafted into Thirstystone coasters. Our dedication to keeping our production green ensures that all areas are reforested in a manner that exceeds the EPA's minimum standards.

Making The Coasters.... The sandstone boulders are core drilled using a large bit that extracts approximately 120 round stone cores from each boulder. Every usable portion of the boulder is utilized, leaving the original stone resembling a honeycomb. Any leftover stone is crushed and sent to local landfills to help them manage their waste.

A Cut Above the Rest The sandstone cores are sliced into disks, then sent to the Sanding and Set Making Departments where the edges are sanded smooth and the stones are sorted into matching sets. No two sets of coasters exactly alike.

High Qaulity coasters - top quality artwork.... The coasters are transported to Thirstystone's production facility in Texas where the coasters are printed using printing technology developed by Thirstystone. Finsihed coaster sets are packaged, labeled, and shipped to you directly from our Texas facility. Thirstystone's unmatched popularity with customers is due to our coasters consistenly providing natural beauty, function, and value.
