[QUOTE="Taupou, post: 1434040, member: 45"]Pumice stone is found all over the world, wherever there are, or were, volcanic explosions, which includes locations in North and South America, Asia, Europe, and the Pacific. Underwater volcanic explosions as recent as August, 2019, sometimes release huge "rafts" of pumice, which float to the top, and drift the seas. In this case, it is expected to end up on the coast of Australia. So it is not unusual for pumice carvings to be found in Rapinui, Alaska, or Bali. Pumice is the rock that floats, so if you want to determine what the material is, stick it in water.[/QUOTE]
