I believe I saw a pallet or two of Ibaraki brand last week. His pumice and cinder is sourced locally.

My guess is that the pumice is what is carried by [Concentrates, Inc. – Organic Agricultural Professionals Since 1938 (concentratesnw.com)](https://concentratesnw.com/) which is from 4-Corners Organics (wholesale only). Concentrates will ship a full pallet of bags and they have quite a few dealers that can most likely get a smaller quantity.

If you live in the Portland metro area you can get pumice from Pro Gro in Wilsonville and the cinder from Daybreak Garden in Battleground.
