While the properties of cobalt are used for many purposes in
everyday life,
here are some of the most notable facts about cobalt:
If cobalt could be found in nature, it would appear silvery-blue and be extremely brittle. Cobalt does occur naturally on Earth, but in combination with other elements, such as nickel and copper.
