What's Pumice?

Pumice is a type of volcanic rock that ranges in color from white to black. It's created when gas-saturated liquid magma erupts like carbonated drink and cools so rapidly, depositing beautifully textured froth over time before solidifying into glassy grains full with bubbles - these various shapes are due the different flow patterns during formation! Pumices contain small crystals made mostly out of quartz but also other minerals such as potassium salts or silica which help give it its distinct colors depending on composition .


Pumice is an extrusive igneous rock that ranges in color from white to black. It has very thin bubble walls and can be found floating on water, awaiting cooling before it becomes glass like other volcanic rocks do. Pumice composition typically falls within the Siliciclaves or Feldspathic groupings but basaltes also show up at times as well!
