Unfortunately I can`t remember from where I got this info but it must have been from another Austrian collector.
We have plenty of botallackite pics here https://www.mindat.org/gallery.php?loc=6026&min=732.
Can someone confirm my info?

I still have the specimen in my collection but for the moment I'm not having it tested.
If you want feel free to delete it from the galleries.
BTW Raman could distinguish the two species?

Cu 27 Cl 18 Zn 14 atom%
Cu 26 Cl 21 Zn 12
As Richard told me already its a Zn dominant smelter! Many vugs are filled with hemimorphite + kapellasite.
So what shall we do with the botallackite pics?
By the way I`ll add several pics of species I analysed today the next week.
