RE: Latacunga, Ecuador: Destroyed by a volcano; rebuilt by a volcano
Wow the pumice stone looks pretty decent, I'd imagine it's pretty expensive considering how difficult it is to extract?

It's a fairly common building material in Latacunga and theres a few buildings at least partially made with pumice. There's a nearly endless supply of it all around the city in the ground. Though, even more common is grinding it up into a powder and using it as an ingredient in cement.
