Aug 28, 2017· I'm not trying to convince you of anything, but pumice really does not have to cost that much, even for folks in the Midwest. Prices (excluding shipping) are generally 78 per 40lb bag (one 40lb bag is about 1 cubic foot or about gallons) or in the 350400 range for a pallet (50, 40lb bags) of pumice or scoria.
