ABOUT PUMICE STONE
What is PUMICE
Pumice forms when super-heated, pressurized molten rock violently erupts from a volcano. Gases dissolved in magma (mainly water and carbon dioxide) form bubbles when pressure suddenly decreases. The magma swiftly cools, producing a solid foam.
Nature of PUMICE
Pumice forms so quickly that its atoms often don't have time to organize into crystals.
Most of the structure of Pumice is amorphous, which consists silicates and aluminates.
All Shapes and Sizes
While pumice occurs in a variety of colors, it is almost always pale.
The most significant property of pumice is its low density. Pumice tends to be so light that it floats on water until its vesicles fill.
The vesicles of Pumice are almost always interconnected, even if the pores seemingly end in one way. The walls of the vesicles themselves are porous on nanometric scale, ensuring a 'breathing' quality to the rock.
Single Pumice Stone can size up to 30 cm
Bimstalya Mines has a unique feature , providing sizes from < 0,1 mm (Pumicite) to 30+ cm (large formations)
While obtaining Pumivite via pulverizing the Pumice is possible, natural Pumicite is much more sought after due to soft edges formed due to years of friction between Pumice particles.
High reserve
Bimstalya Mining has over 50.000.000 metric tons of Pumice reserve in its mine and has the capacity to produce 500+ tons per day. The company is growing every day. Be a part of the growth!
