Default Pumice wanted

I've been looking for a local supplier of horticultural pumice in North
Texas (Dallas) for years but no luck. Can anyone hear recommend someone
that deals in quantity (1/2 cu. yd.+) and is within 500 miles.
How about dealers that will ship?

When I started this hobby back in CA I was able to find pumice
everywhere, but since moving to Texas I haven't found anything I like
(or as inexpensive) as pumice for my soil mix.
Lave rock is a nice choice but I can't find any in the 1/16 - 1/4 inch size.

Out of curiosity, what is the going rate for pumice from the local
gravel yards in So. CA these days?

Thanks,
