Cobalt originates from the German word Kobald or Kobalt, meaning two things. The first is "evil spirit" because the miners that first encountered it discovered that it was poisonous. The second theory is that it means "goblin" because the miners, who were silver miners, believed that this metal stole the silver.BOWLIN SHOES
