Agate Coasters (Set of 4)

Product Description

Brilliant Brazilian agate forms these coasters. Available as a set of four in assorted colors as shown.

Thought these were a really unusual and gorgeous way of keeping things from being set directly on my glass coffee table. Wrong! Here are my issues with them:

1) They do not absorb liquid, so if something wet is placed on them the liquid is going to simply roll off the agate and onto the coffee table. Example: a typical cup from a fast food joint when the ice melts and condenses on the outside of the cup. That made its way to my coffee table pretty quick.

2) They are too small. I wouldn't put anything bigger on them than a shot glass or a wine glass. Yes, they can handle a pint glass (or equivalent) but that's cutting it pretty close.

3) No rubber feet at the bottom to protect a glass coffee table, which I assume many people have. Basically you're putting an item with a glassy surface directly on glass. No good! That is asking for scratches.

Oh well. Nice idea but poorly executed.


The agate is not water absorbing, therefore they are not practical to use as coasters. However, they are beautiful pieces of nature to have in your home. These coasters should also come with a holder, but they do not. I had to purchase a separate holder from a home store to make it complete.


Great for a gift or for yourself if you like unusual but usefull items around the house. Modern and colorful.
