The green, cream, and red colors of the rock are really there.  No color correction made to the original.  The orange at the top is lichen.

I am aware that formations of serpentine occur widely in the coast range mountains of southern Oregon and northern California.  The green seen here could be serpentine, I suppose.  Other possibilities are olivine or hornblende.  I've read that peridotite, also known to be found in the general area of Bandon, can be red.

I'd like to hear the thoughts of any geologists who might see this picture.
