Scoria, is a poor-quality glassy substance formed in volcanoes. It commonly has many gas vesicles in it, and is usually red to black in colour. Unlike its cousin Pumice, scoria has a density greater than 1, hence it will sink in water.

As to melting point, like most complex mixtures it does not have a simple melting point, rather a softening point, and this will be in the high hundreds of deg C.
