Several phases of Zippeite on this specimen and color alone does not distinguish them. Nickelzippeite is described as yellow to yellow-orange to tan, which fits many of the crystal groups on this specimens. There is one patch that is clearly yellow, but also a lot of orange colored zippeite. I think the green is Johannite.
