Description

The listing, Natural Pumice-tons of uses! has ended.

3 3/4" x 2 1/2" and 1" thick brick
Pumice is a natural lava-based substance that is expelled from volcanoes. When a volcano erupts, the lava it spews out is very hot, and it rapidly cools when it is exposed to the cooler air outside. This rapid cooling transforms the foamy lava into pumice. Its glassy finish and abrasive texture given it a number of household and construction-based uses.

There are a number of reasons that pumice has found popular use as a consumer material. As volcanic activity happens globally, it is naturally produced in many countries. It often doesn't require extensive processing, so it can be a cost-effective alternative to other products. It also offers a number of unique qualities that are valued by different industries.

One of the main qualities of pumice is that it is abrasive. This abrasiveness makes it valuable in applications that require a scrubbing substance. For example, some natural household cleaners have been developed that use pumice to help scour stains from appliances. Other products use it as a way of cleaning and scrubbing skin from the body, such as from the bottom of the feet. Additionally, as pumice is a naturally-occurring substance, using it instead of more chemically-based cleaners can have environmental benefits as well.

Winner will receive block in picture. I use it as a plant base for my cactus and succulents, it breaks very easily with a garden spade or a hammer (claw side). I can email the winner several uses for it.

This is also good to clean toilets that have hard water stains in them. Works better than any cleaner you would buy. F&W

If I were to crush this for use as an ingredient in potting medium,about how much "sand" do you think I'd get? Do you have any more of these?

The brick on here is about the size of a bar of soap, you would probably get about 1/4 cup of "sand" from this one that would be good for a large size planter. I have a lot more of this, but wanted to see if anyone would be interested in this. I have been mixing this with coconut coir, and potting soil, it makes a beautiful soil for most of my plants especially the cactus and succulents because of the drainage.

Thanks, I was just wondering if anyone on here would be interested in it. It seems to work well, and is in a lot of the different plant dirts.
