Raw pumice rock specimens set of 12-(ELS-ROK1200)

Raw pumice rock specimens 1 inch samples set of 12 - 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 the identification of igneous rocks. Each specimen is selected and hand processed by a geologist, ensuring each sample exhibits defining features. Set of 12 1inch samples. -
