Cobalt is an element that is not found free in nature. It is found in combination with arsenic, and also as a recoverable byproduct of copper and nickel refining because cobalt is "hiding" in those ores. The things we get cobalt from aren't particularly rare, and cobalt is recovered commercially in over a dozen countries. China and Finland are big producers, as are Norway, Canada, Zambia and Russia. A number of other countries produce commercial quantities. The Cobalt Development Institute has a handle on this information, and a link is provided to their resource page.
What else can I help you with?
Where can you find cobalt in nature?
All cobalt that is processed for commercial purposes is obtained as a by-product of other metals. One major source is from copper. It has also been obtained from manganese nodules found on the floor of the ocean.
How can you find cobalt metal?
Cobalt metal can be found by mining cobalt-containing ores like cobaltite, smaltite, and erythrite. These ores are usually found alongside other metals like copper and nickel. Once extracted, cobalt can be further refined through processes like roasting, leaching, and electrolysis to obtain pure cobalt metal.
What is the Cobalt oxidation number?
The common oxidation number for cobalt is +2, found in compounds like cobalt(II) chloride. Cobalt can also exhibit other oxidation states, such as +3 in compounds like cobalt(III) oxide and +4 in compounds like cobalt(IV) fluoride.
What country was cobalt found in?
Cobalt was discovered in Sweden. It was discovered by George Brandt in 1735. Brandt was attempting to prove that the ability of certain minerals to color glass blue was due to an unknown element and not to bismuth, as was commonly believed at the time.
Do all steels contain cobalt?
No, not all steels contain cobalt. Cobalt is a trace element that can be found in some steels, particularly in specialty steels with specific characteristics, but it is not a required element in all steel compositions.

Where cobalt found in the Philippines?

When was cobalt made?
If you are talking about Cobalt-60 being "found" it was in 1938 by Seaborg and Livingood. But Cobalt has been used throughout all history.
What province or region found the mineral cobalt in Philippines?
The mineral cobalt has been found in the Dinagat province of the Philippines. This province is known for its significant cobalt deposits, particularly in the municipality of Loreto. Mining operations in the region have been focused on extracting cobalt for commercial use.
What are facts about the element cobalt?
the element cobalt is found in veal, liver, clam, turkey, octopus, and lamb
Is cobalt organic or inorganic?

Where is cobalt first invented?
Cobalt is not found as a native metal but generally found in the form of ores. Cobalt is usually not mined alone, and tends to be produced as a by-product of nickel and copper mining activities. The main ores of cobalt are cobaltite, erythrite, glaucodot, and skutterudite. Swedish chemist George Brandt (1694-1768) is credited with isolating cobalt circa 1735. He was able to show that cobalt was the source of the blue color in glass, which previously had been attributed to the bismuth found with cobalt. http://periodic.lanl.gov/elements/27.html
