!!!Köfelsit

Koefelsit, porous and strikingly light stone which can only be found 
in Koefels (Tirol) in the Oetz valley. Originally thought to be a kind 
of pumice stone, it is now seen as a melting product, which was 
probably created by the fall of a large meteorite or by frictional 
heat on the slip planes due to a mountain slide.
