Artist's Palette

☆☆☆ EXPLORED 02-03-2021 ☆☆☆

 

The colors are created by the oxidation of different metals in the rocks: Iron compounds produce red, pink and yellow colors; decomposition of tuff-derived mica produces green colors; and manganese produces the purple color. The amazing site is known as "Artist’s Palette" and is located in Death Valley National Park, California.
