"Beautiful!"
Absolutely gorgeous! Perfect workmanship. The marble turns slightly green when wet (them back to normal when dry), which I really like. The only downside is that the coasters are a bit small (all of my glasses fit on them, but some just barely), so I'm not sure if they will hold all of the water when glasses sweat a lot in the summer.

"Absolutely Loving my coasters"
I have been collecting elephants for the past 6 years or so. I recently got a new dining table and felt something was missing. This absolutely does it, I love it so much and I am so happy that we get to see and use them at meal times. The design is beautiful, I would like to give thanks to Gulam Rasool for creating such an amazing piece of art and sharing it with us. Now we have a little piece from him too.

"Delicately beautiful"
I bought this item as a birthday gift for one of my Sisters. She absolutely loved it. I was not able to see it in person right away since we live in different States, but when I did see it, I wished I had ordered one for myself! The design is intricate, and very well done.
