Whose got the best deal for graded pumice that I can have shipped--its always shifting around.
I don't know if I'd really call the stuff from Wee Tree "graded". I've ordered single boxes from them a number of times and I always wind up sifting out a lot of fines. With their stuff you get a wide range of particle sizes which is good if you want that...not so good if you're looking for a particular size range. Their pallet deal seems pretty good, even with shipping it would be much cheaper (per unit) that way. If I could find someone locally to split a shipment I'd do it.
Haven't tried bonsaijack or dallas bonsai. Have bought from a couple of private sellers (through ebay and facebook groups) which is where you might want to look for the best price. However, all the prices are for the most part pretty similar.

I'm definitely buying some pumice from the seller Judy posted, but does anyone have a decent source for lava rock?

It's true - with the Wee Tree material, you will end up sieving. Breakdown for Wee Tree pumice (at least in the last shipment) is:
29% is 1/2"-3/8"
33% is 3/8"-1/4"
37" is 1/4"-1/8"
11% is < 1/8"
I discard the < 1/8" fraction and use everything else for different purposes. The coarse fraction for drainage, the 3/8"-1/4" for most plants, the 1/4"-1/8" for finer root growth,. Turface, in contrast, is:
0% is 1/2" -3/8"
4% is 3/8"-1/4"
51% is 1/4"-1/8"
45% is <1/8"
