I buy pumice in Portland, Oregon, in large bags (about 60-pound bags, depending on how wet it is when they bag it, for $7 a bag) but it's just packed that way for local sale. I don't think they ship it out. However, I'll mention the out-of-state interest the next time I'm at the supplier. I suspect it would be prohibitively expensive to ship anything less than a full container load. Joe will just have to drive up to Portland with a dumptruck, and buy it by the cubic yard!
