Raw Pumice Stone Lumps
Unprocessed pumice stone extracted from volcanic deposits, used primarily as a natural abrasive in industrial grinding and polishing applications. It falls under HTS 2513.10.00 as crude pumice stone, whether or not heat-treated, distinct from manufactured abrasives. The porous, lightweight nature makes it ideal for tumbling and surface preparation.
Heat-Treated Pumice Gravel
Pumice stone gravel thermally processed to enhance durability for use in concrete aggregates and water filtration systems. Classified under HTS 2513.10.00 as heat-treated pumice stone, retaining its natural abrasive properties. The treatment improves density without altering its fundamental pumice composition.
Lava Pumice Stones for Tumbling
Medium-sized pumice stones specifically sized for rock tumbling and lapidary work, sourced from lava flows. Under HTS 2513.10.00 as natural pumice abrasives, suitable for hobbyist and industrial polishing. The irregular shapes provide multi-directional abrasion.
