Navajo Brand^® Pumice is a near-white, milled volcanic glass that finds wide use in industrial and cosmetic products.

The Navajo Brand volcanic glass formed when lava from an erupting volcano flowed onto the earth’s surface and then cooled. The comparatively low atmospheric pressure at the surface resulted in the sudden release of steam, and other dissolved gases, from the still molten mass, thus producing bubbles. This results in the open appearance familiar in “lava rock” used for gas grill briquettes and landscape rock. Pumice deposits are only found within a few miles of ancient volcanoes.

CR Minerals Company's pumice deposit is located in Espanola, New Mexico.  Espanola is north of Santa Fe where our processing plant is located. The ore is mined from open pits, and then transported to the plant where it is crushed, milled and dried.  It is then processed through a modern classification system to produce the rigorously controlled and consistently uniform Navajo Brand products.
