Pumice is a textural term for a volcanic rock that is a solidified frothy lava typically created when super-heated, highly pressurized rock is violently ejected from a volcano
A pumice rock is considered a rock because it is composed of multiple minerals, mainly feldspar and quartz. Minerals are the building blocks of rocks, so pumice is classified as a rock rather than a single mineral.
Pumice has a hardness of about 5 to 6 on the Mohs scale.
Pumice has a hardness of about 6 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness.
Granite has large mineral grains compared to obsidian, basalt, and pumice. Granite is an intrusive igneous rock that forms deep within the Earth's crust, allowing for the growth of large mineral crystals due to slow cooling. Obsidian, basalt, and pumice are extrusive igneous rocks that cool quickly at the Earth's surface, resulting in smaller mineral grains or a glassy texture.
One example of a mineral with low specific gravity is pumice. Pumice is a volcanic rock formed from frothy lava with numerous gas bubbles trapped within its structure, resulting in a low density and specific gravity.

Pumice does not have grains.
The mineral used in soil mix is pumice

Pumice is a type of extrusive volcanic rock, produced when lava with a very high content of water and gases (together these are called volatiles) is extruded (or thrown out of) a volcano. Pumice is not a mineral because it does not have a definite composition and lacks a crystalline structure.

Pumice is a nonmetallic mineral. It is a type of volcanic rock that is formed from the rapid cooling of frothy lava with high gas content, resulting in a lightweight and porous texture.
Pumice is not a mineral; it is a type of volcanic rock with a frothy texture. Obsidian, on the other hand, is a naturally occurring volcanic glass and is considered a mineraloid rather than a true mineral because it lacks a crystalline structure.
