I buy unglazed, tumbled marble tiles at Lowe's, also. I have never sealed any of these, as I want them to be able to absorb moisture. I only use Stazon ink, Ranger alcohol inks and alcohol base markers for coloring (Sharpie, Prisma, etc, any permanent alcohol base marker will work). On the bottom I use cork self-adhesive shelf paper (also at Lowe's). Since last fall I've made and sold about 100 sets of coasters (4 per set) and no one has ever complained about colors bleeding.
