Pumice normally doesn't have any grains at all. It would be very unusual for it to have grains. Just like Obsidian, Pumice is cooled too fast to have any grains in it. One of the biggest differences between them is that Pumice is cooled with pockets of air while Obsidian has a glassy look.
Pumice is a frothy volcanic glass, and does therefore not have a grain size.
Pumice does not have grains.
Pumice is so fine grained, it actually doesn't have a grain--because it is a natural volcanic glass. The rough texture is caused by the vesicular nature of the rock--trapped pockets of gas bubbles with sharp glassy edges.

When pumice is formed - it traps minute amounts of gas in bubbles within the rock itself. This makes it buoyant.
it depends on the jar and the size of the sand grains
When water combines with mineral grains, the grains become larger. The increase in size of mineral grains strains the rock material and weakens it.
No. Pumice does not have grains.

Granite is a dense, non-porous rock with visible mineral grains. Pumice is a light rock filled with holes left by gas bubbles and generally no visible grains.
No pumice is not a porphyritic igneous rock, a porphyritic rock is characterized by the presence of phenocrysts (large mineral grains) and very small mineral grains with none in between. This implies that there was two different stages of cooling. Pumice is an extrusive igneous rock that cooled very quickly.

Granite
Because pumice is lighter than obsidian always. That means obsidian weighs more than pumice.
sandstones grains are medium sized
Pumice is a volcanic rock that forms when a volcano ejects "foamy" lava. The gas bubbles remain in place after the rock solidifies. One of Pumice's most notable characteristics is that it will float in water.
