Minerals of Vinicunca

from $95.00

Montaña de Siete Colores (mountain of seven colors) are due to its mineralogical composition: the pink is from red clay, fangolitas (mud) and arilitas (sand); the whitish coloring is due to quartzose, sandstone and marls; red is from claystones (iron) and clays belonging to the Upper Tertiary period; green is due to phyllites and clays rich in ferro magnesian; the earthy brown is a product of fanglomerate composed of rock with magnesium belonging to the Quaternary period; and the mustard yellow color comes from the calcareous sandstones rich in sulphurous minerals.

Location: Pitumarca, Peru

The prints are available in three sizes which have been chosen to fit with commonly available frame dimensions. The images are printed on Hahnemühle Photo Rag®, a beautiful museum quality fine art paper which will look incredible for decades. Each print includes a Certificate of Authenticity.

All post-processing and reproduction have been meticulously executed to maintain the natural colors and aesthetic of the location/subject - keeping it as true to the human eye’s experience.
