Raw Pumice, Igneous Rock Specimen - Hand Sample - Approx. 3 — Eisco Labs
- PUMICE | Pumice is formed from the frothy lava that a volcanic explosion creates. As the frothy lava cools, it hardens as a light weight rock that is filled with small gas bubbles. Because this rock is so porous and light, it can actually float on water
- GREAT FOR GEOLOGY CLASSROOMS | Perfect for demonstrating the effect of vesicles on rock density, as well as for lesson in identification and classification of igneous rocks
- GEOLOGIST SELECTED | Each specimen is selected and hand processed by an actual geologist, ensuring each sample exhibits defining features
- LOCALLY PROCESSED | Our rock and mineral samples are sourced from a variety of locations around the world and are processed in Victor, NY
- INDIVIDUALLY PACKAGED & LABELED | Each specimen sample is packaged in a transparent bag, and is labeled & barcoded for easy identification
Raw Pumice Specimen
Single Hand Sample, 3
Pumice is formed from the frothy lava that a volcanic explosion creates. As the frothy lava cools, it hardens as a light weight rock that is filled with small gas bubbles. Because this rock is so porous and light, it can actually float on water. Perfect for demonstrating the effect of vesicles on rock density, as well as for lesson in identification and classification of igneous rocks.
While each specimen will vary slightly in shape, size and color, it will measure approximately 3 in length. Each is individually packaged, labeled & barcoded for easy identification and storage.
Selected & Processed by a Geologist.
Each and every specimen is selected and hand processed by an actual geologist, ensuring that each sample exhibits defining features. Rocks and minerals are sourced from a variety of locations around the world and are processed by hand in Victor, NY.
