I learned about this when I was in the seventh grade. Pumice is volcanic. It was made by nature when lava and gases was thrown out of a volcano. As the gas bubbles escaped from the lava, it become frothy. When the lava cooled and hardened, the result was a very light rock material filled with tiny bubbles of gas.
