Specimens of Bottinoite were restricted to a single 1 mt long by 20cm dia cylindrical horizontal vugh. In the Brownley Hill North Vein, and running parallel within this vein. The vugh was mostly lined with quartz and galena and very sparsely scattered with minute Ullmannite crystals on the Galena. The creamy-white mineral is likely to be Antimony-bearing Annabergite.
