Pumice:
Igneous rock having a spongy or frothy texture, and composed largely of glass. It is frequently made up of parallel fibers or threads, with intervening spaces to form a delicate structure. Pumice is produced by the expansion of the occluded, or internal, gases of lavas when they reach the surface of the earth.
