Yes. Pumice is so fine-grained, often times it's crystals are vesicular and glassy.
Obsidian is a type of volcanic rock that is extremely vesicular and glassy in appearance. It forms when lava cools quickly with minimal crystal growth, resulting in a smooth texture and shiny appearance.
Pumice is so fine grained, it actually doesn't have a grain--because it is a natural volcanic glass. The rough texture is caused by the vesicular nature of the rock--trapped pockets of gas bubbles with sharp glassy edges.
Yes. Pumice is inorganic. It is a glassy volcanic rock made mostly of silicates.
I may be wrong, but it might be volcanic rock.
An example of vesicular rock is pumice, which is a light-colored igneous rock that forms from volcanic eruptions. Pumice contains many small cavities (vesicles) caused by trapped gas bubbles in the molten rock that rapidly cooled and solidified.
No. Pumice is a glassy vesicular volcanic rock.
No. Pumice is a glassy vesicular volcanic rock.
Pumice is classified as a felsic, glassy, highly vesicular, extrusive igneous rock.

The luster of pumice is vitreous (glassy).
Pumice is not a fossil because it is not an evidence of a previously living organism. Pumice is a vesicular extrusive igneous rock.

You are probably thinking of pumice, and igneous rock.
An example of vesicular rock is pumice, which is a light-colored igneous rock that forms from volcanic eruptions. Pumice contains many small cavities (vesicles) caused by trapped gas bubbles in the molten rock that rapidly cooled and solidified.
Volcanic rocks with gas bubbles are called vesicular. This, however, is a descriptive term rather than an actual rock types. Some vesicular volcanic rocks include pumice, scoria, and vesicular basalt.
