  • Pumice: The Lightweight Volcanic Rock That Floats
    The igneous rock that is light enough to float is pumice.

    Pumice is a volcanic rock that forms from frothy lava with a high gas content. This creates a very porous structure with numerous air pockets, which makes it incredibly lightweight. In fact, pumice is so light that it can float on water!
