A square black-and-white photograph depicts a middle-aged, light-skinned man standing below a cylinder of rock material. He is wearing a hardhat and work clothing and raises a gloved hand as if to touch the rock. The man and the rock sample are directly lit, but the surroundings are extremely dark.
