All natural store is porous and needs to be sealed. Travertine is the most porous over marble and granite
Pumice is a light, porous volcanic rock that is commonly used in beauty and skincare products for exfoliation. It forms when volcanic lava rapidly cools and traps gases, creating its characteristic porous texture.
Porous volcanic rock is commonly classified as either pumice or scoria. Pumice is often lighter in color and has a very porous texture due to the presence of numerous gas bubbles, while scoria is darker and similarly porous but is typically more dense than pumice. Both are formed from volcanic eruptions and can float on water.
Pumice is a non-foliated volcanic rock. It forms from the rapid cooling and depressurization of molten lava, which traps gas bubbles, giving it a lightweight and porous texture. Unlike foliated rocks, pumice does not exhibit a layered or banded appearance, as it does not undergo the pressure and temperature conditions that lead to foliation.
Pumice forms when a volcano erupts gas-rich material. Some of this material forms a sort of foamy lava, filled with gas bubbles. This cools rapidly and solidifies with the bubbles left in place, forming a highly porous rock. In volcanic rock this texture is called vesicular.
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.
Clothing, pumice, and paper are mostly porous.

Granite is a dense, non-porous rock with visible mineral grains. Pumice is a light rock filled with holes left by gas bubbles and generally no visible grains.
Pumice is a non-foliated volcanic rock. It forms from the rapid cooling and depressurization of molten lava, which traps gas bubbles, giving it a lightweight and porous texture. Unlike foliated rocks, pumice does not exhibit a layered or banded appearance, as it does not undergo the pressure and temperature conditions that lead to foliation.
Igneous rocks range from the highly porous pumice to the nearly non-porous granite. In some explosive eruptions of felsic magma, as is the case with pumice, the frothy mixture of rock and gas cools so rapidly that open vesicles are preserved, making it very lightweight and porous. With granite, the intrusive igneous rock has had a long time to cool underground, and with its interlocking crystalline structure, it has an extremely low porosity.
There are two types porous and non porous. You can also seel porous concrete to make it non porous.

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.
