Pumiceous
Pumiceous refers to a type of volcanic rock that is light in weight and has a porous texture. It is typically formed during volcanic eruptions when lava cools quickly and traps gas bubbles within the rock, creating a spongy appearance. Pumiceous rocks are commonly used in exfoliating products, horticulture, and as a lightweight aggregate in construction materials.
