## Overview

The EISCO Pumice Specimen is a 1-inch igneous rock sample showcasing natural vesicles that trap air, enabling it to float on water. Its glassy texture results from rapid cooling during volcanic eruptions. Perfectly sized and NGSS-aligned, it’s an essential tactile tool for classroom labs and rock identification exercises, delivered in a clear, labeled bag for easy storage and display.

## Description

Pumice is a familiar igneous rock useful in rock identification exercises. Formed quickly during explosive volcanic eruptions, this rock formed around pockets of air within the lava. The air pockets within this sample make it surprisingly light. Many pumice samples can float in water, a diagnostic feature for identifying this rock. This sample is also available in packs of 12.
