Answer By Amit
Pumice has an extremely wide distribution across the Earth’s surface, and in fact covers all of the continents. It is frequently found in deposits discovered in the deepest portions of the ocean floor, and is a common occurrence in abyssal red clay. The abundant oceanic deposits of pumice can be explained by submarine volcanic eruptions, as well as the distribution of floating pumice by sea winds and currents. Afghanistan, Indonesia, Japan, and (the Eastern half of) Russia are Asian countries with significantly large reserves of pumice. In Europe, Italy, Turkey, Greece, Hungary, and Iceland have large deposits of pumice. The U.S.A., Canada, and Mexico in North America have pumice reserves, as do a number of the Caribbean Islands. A few African (Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania and South American countries (Peru, Argentina, Ecuador, Chile also have deposits of pumice to their respective names.

Italy is the largest producer of pumice in the world. The other top five leading pumice producers are Spain, Greece, Turkey, and Chile. Pumice is also mined extensively in the United States, with Oregon, Arizona, and California being especially major producers of the rock in the country. Pumice mining has a lower impact on the environment than other rocks and minerals.

Fine powder of the Pumice Stone is used as toothpaste and hand cleaner as a light abrasive.
Mining pumice is, environmentally, a low-impact process. Most pumice is surface-mined. The soil (overburden) covering the pumice is pushed aside and stockpiled for later reclamation of the mining site. The pumice is ripped or scraped loose and pushed to the crusher for preliminary processing (mine grades). The pumice is then loaded and trucked to the plant for additional processing.
That pumice is then typically dried to the necessary moisture content ideal for refining, then lifted into the plant to run down through the crushers, shakers and screens, separated by grade, purified, and finally packaged or bulk loaded for delivery.
