Template:Infobox mineral Botallackite, chemical formula Cu2[(OH)3|Cl] is a secondary copper mineral, named for its type locality at the Botallack mine, St Just in Penwith, Cornwall. It is polymorphous with Atacamite, Paratacamite and Clinoatacamite.[1]

In the monoclinic crystal system, Botallackite is mountain-green to green in colour, with one distinct to good cleavage.[1]

Botallackite forms in copper deposits exposed to weathering and salt water.[1]
