It is soft in nature . Because of its dramatic color change and the ease of the hydration/dehydration reaction, "cobalt chloride" is used as an indicator for water in desiccants.
Its formula is CoCl2.6H2O

Is cobalt a hard or a soft magnetic material?
Cobalt is ferromagnetic, but considerably less so than iron. Alloys of cobalt such as aluminium, nickel, cobalt and iron, known as Alnico, and of samarium and cobalt (samarium-cobalt magnet) are commonly used to make high quality permanent magnets.
What compounds are in cobalt?
There are no compounds in Cobalt. It is completely impossible, because Cobalt is an element, and compounds are made up of elements. If this is what you meant to ask, then there a a lot of compounds with Cobalt in them. One example is Cobalt (III) Fluoride, chemical formula CoF3. Any compound with a "Co" (the "C" must be capitalized and the "o" must lowercase) in it contains Cobalt.
What is cobalt's use?
Cobalt is added to steel to produce magnetic, high strength or very hard metals. It is also used as a blue pigment in coloring glass and pottery. A radioisotope, Cobalt 60, is used as a high energy gamma ray source for medical treatment and for testing of metal components.
