Sejarah
Cobalt compounds have been used for centuries to impart a rich blue color to glass, glazes and ceramics.

The element was first isolated by Swedish chemist George Brandt in 1735.

He showed it was the presence of the element cobalt that caused the blue color in glass, not bismuth as previously thought.
