They are glass. Your dishwasher should work fine. Mine does on my glass stones.

Seriously. I don't have the nerve to treat my shell stones that way but really glass is ... glass! They get scratched a lot more by sitting in the bowls together than they ever do by being washed. Of course my glass stones have be rattling around in the bowls for 30+ years so maybe my POV is a little bit skewed, but there it is!

Re: 10mm or 11mm glass stones.
Oily film?
You shouldn't need a dishwasher for this and rare to find a dishwasher that gets dishes as clean as the old fashioned way.
Obtain some baking soda (sodium bicarbonate). This will act as a weak base. Make up a paste of the baking soda, wet the stones, and put them into the paste so they are completely covered with at least a thin layer. Let sit moist a few hours.
The sodium bicarbonate should react with the oils converting them so that one end of those molecules will accept water. Now try washing off.
It is possible your soap/detergent was far weaker than needed for the job. But if you don't have the baking soda on hand. Your first retry could be the detergent again used a bit differently. Smear it all over the stones (like I described for the baking soda) and again let that sit for a few hours and then try washing with water.

Re: 10mm or 11mm glass stones.
Anyone know how these compare with the glass stones offered by GGG?
Interesting. Score 2 for the nice little old lady from Tokyo.

When I bought my nice table board 30 years ago here in Tokyo the nice little old lady that waited on me insisted on selling me 32's instead of the 36's that I wanted. She was right (but of course she knew she was at the time, that's why she insisted). Some years later I bought a floor board and the thicker stones to go with it. However, even there she was right because I simply find it easier to handle the thinner stones and prefer them on any of my boards.
