Pumice is commonly found in areas with volcanic activity, as it forms from the rapid cooling and depressurization of volcanic lava that contains gas bubbles. Major deposits are located near active volcanoes, such as those in Italy, Iceland, and the United States, particularly in the Cascade Range. Additionally, pumice can also be found in sedimentary deposits where volcanic ash has been transported and accumulated. Its lightweight and abrasive properties make it useful in various industries, including construction and cosmetics.
