Sandstone Coasters Protect Americas Furniture

In 2002 an importer with dealings throughout Asia came across a substance with a unique property. It was a type of stone, which had been used architecturally for millennia. However he was interested in one of its more overlooked characteristics, the ability to absorb liquid. Water when dripped on the stone would soak into its pores and then remain there, inert, until it evaporated away. This talent sparked a surge of inspiration in Mr. P. Myron Lewitin, who suddenly understood that such a property would be ideal in many kitchen and dining accessories. This led to the creation of PebbleArt Inc.

He immediately began manufacturing this and other semi absorbent materials in the form of drink coasters, table trivets, and other household accessories. The response from the public was enthusiastic, and the development of a website gave them exposure to the entire world.

In the years since the company has released dozens of new drink coasters and trivets, both in the original highly absorbent sandstone materials, as well as in many other semi-absorbent stones such as slate, travertine, and limestone. The initial coaster business has also led to the creation of a gallery of stone décor and art pieces, which is best showcased at their website http://PebbleZ.com. A sub-domain has been created for the coasters and trivets at http://coasters.PebbleZ.com

The newest development by the company is the release of two new absorbent sandstone materials for drink coaster use. The first is made from a type of imported Indian sandstone called Ruby, and like its name implies the stone is a deep sea of crimson hues. The second coaster is also made from Indian sandstone, a type named Moondyne. Its surface is very subdued and looks like the gently rolling plain of an untouched dessert.

The two new drink coasters are being offered primarily online at http://coasters.pebblez.com/coasters/ruby.html and http://coasters.pebblez.com/coasters/moondyne.html respectively. They are also being distributed to retailers and brokers throughout the country. For wholesale distribution information send an email to info@PebbleZ.com
