Never heard it called varnish before, we learn something new every day. Good very fine detail
Gregory Scott replied:
From Wikipedia: Desert varnish, or rock varnish is a orange-yellow to black coating found on exposed rock surfaces in arid environments. Desert varnish is usually around one micron thick and present nanometre-scale layering.[1] Rock rust and desert patina are other terms which are also used for the condition, but less often. I either heard the term from park rangers or read it on displays in parks.
