Is pumice rock vesicular and glassy?
Yes. Pumice is so fine-grained, often times it's crystals are vesicular and glassy.
What type of rock has little to no grain development and has a vesicular texture?
A rock with little to no grain development and a vesicular texture is typically called a vesicular rock. It is formed from a volcanic eruption, where gases trapped in the lava create bubbles or vesicles. The most common example is vesicular basalt.
Is pumice has no grain?
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.
What texture does a volcanic rock have?
Textures of volcanic rocks include aphantitic (mineral grains are present but microscopic) , porphyritic (some grains are visible to the naked eye), glassy (all or much of the rock lacks a crystalline structure), and vesicular (solidified gas bubbles are present).
What rock has air bubbles in it?
I may be wrong, but it might be volcanic rock.
Is pumice a metal?
No. Pumice is a glassy vesicular volcanic rock.
Is pumice metalic?
No. Pumice is a glassy vesicular volcanic rock.

What is the luster of scoria rock?
Scoria rock generally has a dull to glassy luster. It can appear shiny if it has a vesicular texture with many cavities reflecting light, but overall its luster is not as shiny as some other volcanic rocks like obsidian.

What are the properties of scoria rock?
Scoria is a highly vesicular (porous), dark colored volcanic rock.
What is dark glassy volcanic rock called?
obsidian
What rock has air bubbles in it?
I may be wrong, but it might be volcanic rock.
How is pumice classified?
Pumice is classified as a felsic, glassy, highly vesicular, extrusive igneous rock.
What is the common name for obsidian rock?
The common name for obsidian rock is volcanic glass.
