Interesting.
It looks like an old specimen with hellyerite altered to zaratite but there is a later sprinkling of a blue mineral that needs investigation

We do need to define what zaratite is a bit better, but its generally amorphous hydrous nickel carbonates, which fits the alteration product of hellyerite, even though it's not always so glassy as classic zaratite.

st...@crocoite.com (steve) — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 11:04:16 UT

Last Sunday, Keith Brown of Echuca had a massive stroke, and I have just learned tonight that he passed away peacefully last night.
Keith, with wife Margaret, were avid and prolific mineral collectors. Anyone dropping in at their farm were astonished at the amount of material in cases, avacado boxes, buckets and more in their house, sheds, garage and dairy. They were like grandparents to our kids, and we spent many weekends enjoying their company.
