These fine sandstone coasters protect your furniture and capture the exquisite detail and brilliant colors of our natural subjects. Only the dye sublimation process produces a photo quality image and durable hard surface. Water beads up beautifully around the base of the glass and does not run off of the edges. Condensation does not absorb into the coaster as with other coasters. Simply wipe excess moisture when finished. Coasters are 4″ in diameter and 1/4″ thick. Each coaster comes with a cork backing.
