This is a small SEM Nano Gigapan of some volcanic glass given to us to image by Ronald Schott a Geology professor and avid gigapanner. This type of volcanic glass forms a lattice structure, and is not very dense. Hopefully Ron will talk more about it in a comment:) This gigapan is composed of 42 images.
