            Technically

            But 
            now 
            observe 
            that 
            it 
            has 
            subpixel 
            resolution 
            compared 
            to 
            diffuse 
            map; 
            that 
            this 
            patterning 
            goes 
            over 
            different 
            colors; 
            that 
            there 
            are 
            only 
            a 
            few 
            of 
            types 
            of 
            this 
            patterning; 
            that 
            it 
            affects 
            surface 
            normals 
            (
            judging 
            from 
            how 
            it 
            glints)
             
            and 
            how 
            it 
            blends 
            into 
            only 
            2 
            other 
            types 
            of 
            similar 
            patterning 
            (
            i 
            guess 
            fourth 
            is 
            also 
            present,
             
            on 
            cliffs)
            .

            But now observe that it has subpixel resolution compared to diffuse map; that this patterning goes over different colors; that there are only a few of types of this patterning; that it affects surface normals (judging from how it glints) and how it blends into only 2 other types of similar patterning (i guess fourth is also present, on cliffs).
