Light pumice is initially creamy white in color.
Pumice is a volcanic rock known for being very light, often described as "light pumice" due to its low density. According to the reference, pumice is creamy white when it forms.
Color Variation
While its initial color is creamy white, the reference also notes that pumice's color can change over time.
- Initial Color: Creamy white
- Color After Air Exposure: May turn a light brown.
This change in color after exposure to air suggests an oxidation process or interaction with the environment that alters the rock's surface appearance.
Pumice's lightweight nature and sharp edges make it useful in various applications, such as a scouring agent in cleansing powders, a detail also mentioned in the reference. However, its primary color is characterized by the creamy white hue it possesses upon formation.
