pumices
Porous lava stones
Pumices is the plural of pumice, a lightweight volcanic rock full of tiny holes formed by gas bubbles during eruption.
Its abrasive texture makes it useful for smoothing skin or polishing surfaces: She kept several pumices by the bathtub for her feet.
The rock floats on water due to its porous structure.
