After engraving, clean the slate coaster gently with a soft cloth to remove any residue or dust from the engraving process. 

The rock coaster can be used as is (first photo).

You can also apply a clear sealant for added protection. Use a gloss top coat for a shiny finish (last photo). Follow the manufacturer's instructions to apply the sealant.
