Rainbow Colors of Peru

The seven colors of the mountain are due to its mineralogical composition: the pink color is due to red clay, mud and sand. The whitish color is due to quartzose, sandstone and marls, rich in calcium carbonate. The red is due to iron and the green is due to phyllites and clays rich in ferro magnesian, the earthy brown is a product of fanglomerate composed of rock with magnesium. And the mustard yellow color comes from sandstones rich in sulphurous minerals.
