In 1732, Georg Brandt, a Swedish chemist, discovered cobalt. He 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.

Who is the first to invent cobalt?

Cobalt is an element, and as such was not 'invented'. Cobalt has been found in artifacts from the Chinese and Egyptian cultures dating back to around 1000BCE (Before Common Era - like BC but without the religious context). It was named as an element by Georg Brandt in 1739.


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
