Drying Stones

I stained it the first day I had it by setting a plant on the stone that I had just watered. The dirty water stained it. There was some literature about problems with staining, I guess I didn't realize that things that don't typically stain would be such a big problem. It is beautiful and the stain has subsided a bit, but that is/was frustrating.

Its beautiful , but a seed was accidentally left on the stone and it stained it.. I tried washing gently off but the pretty blue design started coming off! :( now I have a corner that looks all rubbed off... Wish there was a way the design was more permanent with the stone

The design is fantastic! Also this drying stone works perfectly. I would absolutely get a second one if I had the counter space.
