Pumice is very abrasive. It will grind down the inside of your digestive tract and cause ulcers and sores. It is also not digestible, so it will stay there until it is either passed through or it is removed by surgery.

Yes. Pumice is silica-based volcanic rock composed mostly of glass. It is indigestible and abrasive.

Eating it would be a very bad idea.
