pumice stone
Pumice stone is a type of volcanic rock that is formed when lava rich in gases is erupted from a volcano. It is known for its highly vesicular texture which is due to the gas trapped within the molten rock material when it solidifies rapidly. As a result, pumice stone is exceptionally lightweight and abrasive, and it can float on water. It is commonly used as an abrasive in beauty treatments like exfoliating skin, removing calluses, and in personal hygiene products. In industry, it's used for polishing, grinding, and fine abrasive applications.
