Pumice is a rock composed of volcanic glass. You shouldn't eat it period.
Well, darling, if you decide to chow down on some pumice, you might as well be eating a rock. Your teeth will probably hate you, your stomach will be very confused, and let's not even talk about the bathroom situation. Stick to a balanced diet, sweetheart, and leave the pumice for exfoliating your feet.
Pumice forms from the eruption of volcanoes. It occurs from hot pressurized rock that gets ejected from the volcano during eruption.

Floating rocks: pumice. Non-floating rocks: all but pumice. Pumice can float on water because its density is so low, due to trapped bubbles of air which formed during its solidification from lava.
Pumice is usually found around the shore of beaches and rivers, due to the lightness in weight.
Pumice can be white, gray, or even pink.
No. Pumice is inorganic.
how did pumice get here
The tree commonly associated with being flung out from volcanoes is the pumice tree. Pumice is a type of volcanic rock that is light enough to float on water and can be ejected during volcanic eruptions. This can create the appearance of trees being flung out from the volcano.
Not usually, unless it was buried after forming. Pumice is formed during volcanic eruptions from material that is blasted into the air before falling back to earth.
