Why?

Colorful minerals seep through clay beds over millions of years.

    Curiosity made me Google about the reduction in size. Man! It’s hard to get one’s head around what money (as in drilling and minerals mining) can do to people. Lovely images and here’s hoping these scenes stay pristine and unspoiled/untouched.

        Are the minerals something that somebody can earn money on? The second part seems childish to me …

        They mine for silver, uranium, lithium and other minerals.
