Product Information

Product Description
Hekla pumiceis a lightweight, chemically inert, porous stone of volcanic origin created bya sicilic
explosive eruption about 3000 years ago. The high porosity is due to the escape of gases and steam as
the pumice grains rapidly cooled down while falling to the ground from the eruption. The tephra layer
from this eruption, in which this pumiceis found, covered over 80% of Iceland and has been found in
northern Europe, as far as 2000 km from its source. Iceland"s primary pumice resources are in the
southern part of the country. The Grimsnesscoria is a porous, chemically inert, dark colored volcanic
rock formed by an effusive lava eruption about 5-G000 years ago in the Grimsnes area. JEIl excavates the
pumice from the base of Mt. Hekla in the south-west of Iceland, and the scoria from Seydishdlar in
Grimsnes.
