Why would one rock float while one sinks?
The rock that sinks has a higher density than the rock that floats. (The only rock that floats is pumice.) More specifically, for a rock to float it must have a lower density than the fluid it is placed in. This will mean that a given volume of the material will have a smaller mass (and hence weight) than the fluid it displaces. As such the material will have positive bouyancy and will tend to float on top of the more dense material.
