- Pumice is a textural
term for a volcanic rock that is a solidified frothy lava composed of
highly microvesicular glass pyroclastic with very thin, translucent
bubble walls of extrusive igneous rock.
- Pumice is considered
a glass because it has no crystal structure.
- Pumice is volcanic
rock formed during explosive eruptions and resembles a sponge, because
it consists of a network of gas bubbles frozen amidst fragile volcanic
components and minerals.
- Since pumice is a
volcanic rock, and retains its useful properties only when it is young
and unaltered, pumice deposits are found in
areas with young
volcanic fields.
- Pumice is highly
vesicular silicic to mafic foam, which will commonly float on
water.
- Pumice rocks are
igneous rocks which were formed when lava cooled quickly above ground.
- Methods of
exploration include digging wells and trenches.
- Pumice is widely
used to make lightweight concrete or insulative low-density
'breeze-block' type bricks.
- "Pumice stones" are
often used in salons during the pedicure process to remove dry and
excess skin from the bottom of the foot as well as calluses.
- The volcanic soils
with their natural structure, the decayed plants, with the supplement
nourishment that were provided by animal
and human life; it provides
very convenient milieu in order to grow plant.
- The pumice stone
gives opportunity to do the cleaning without giving damage to the
surface of building, because of the pumice’s soft abrading feature.
- The pumice is used
again as a material for television tube correction, glass polishing, cut
glass completing.
- The remainder of the
pumice mined is used in abrasives, horticulture, landscaping, and for
washing blue jeans.
- In the United
States, Arizona, California, New Mexico and Oregon are the major
producers of pumice, accounting for the majority of the nation’s pumice
and pumicite production
- Pumice’s abrasive
nature makes it a useful ingredient in soaps, cleansers, and dental
products.
