Product Description
Pumice - Vesicular Texture - Tan
Igneous Rock Specimen
Utah, USA
Specifications: Each specimen is more than 1 inch on at least one side, and will come individually bagged and labeled with name and location of occurance.
Specific Description: This type of pumice has a vesicular texture with randomly spaced and shaped openings. It is primarily light to medium tan in coloration.
In general, pumice is the very light volcanic material (igneous) that forms by the rapid cooling of the "frothy" surface of lava (molten rock). Most pumice will float in water due to its light weight and typical porosity of 90%. As it becomes saturated however, it starts to lose its ability to float.
Photography: The pictures are representative of the quality and general size of the specimen you will receive. None of the pieces pictured, will be the actual one you will receive, but will be from the same rock stock (outcrop or formation) your order will be filled from. Additionally, while taking the representative pictures, a diligent effort was made to capture the material in both direct sunlight and shade.
