      I worked at a fiberglass fabrication shop years ago, there were some resins that weren't "ready to use" that we had to add a cobalt naphthenate solution to before use. It had an indigo/purple color.

    Meow.
    You forgot to mention how it got its name. It's named after kobolds, the german goblin. This is because they would accidentally refine it as a byproduct of refining other metals that they did want, such as nickel, iron and copper. So I guess it's a goblin metal. If you made a sword out of cobalt, you could go to a sci-fi convention and say it's made out of goblin metal.

      @@ironpulcinella3586 No it's still a colorless metal, its compounds are used to color things blue but the element itself as you can see in the video is a boring looking metal. I think only gold, copper and cesium have any color to them, though I understand some alloys of copper, silver and gold are actually somewhat greenish, an alloy known as green gold.

    **Those crystalline cat litters are not really much, if any better than standard clay cat litter.** I change a litter box about once every 6-8 days, and it contains clay. There's never any smell from the litter box, and 99% of the urine is absorbed. Only if I wait more than 7-8+ days, will I see a spot of moisture on the bottom of the litter box, but it doesn't smell until the box is emptied and its exposed.
    We've also tried the crystalline litter, which is more than double the price, although each bag doesn't even contain an equal quantity to the clay stuff, so when I pour in the bag, it almost looks like there's not enough of it. Also, it really doesn't last longer, and some brands of it don't seem to absorb hardly any urine!

    I remember when a bunch of idiots at my school on the student council pass a rule requiring the school to remove everything containing radioactive elements. So the principle asked the science teachers to compile a list of everything in the school containing radioactive elements. The principle then had members of the local hazmat crew "bag up and remove" those things in the school that had radioactive elements in them, including the members of the student council that voted to ban radioactive elements from the school.

      Willy Nebula but the thing is, its not just Potassium. Many Elements that are otherwise stable have naturally occuring radioisotopes too. For example: Calcium, Krypton, Tellurium, Rhenium, Indium, Platium and many others, Some other trace radioisotopes like Carbon-14 are important as they are use to date archeological discoveries. However, not counting trace radioisotopes, K40 is indeed the most radioactive as it has a shorter halflife than the most stable isotopes of Uranium and Thorium

    I make different types of metal catalysts for oil refining and we use a lot of cobalt/molybdenum mixtures. In the milled powdered form which we use it, is a grayish/blue hue. Very pretty. We also use cobalt oxide which is a dry powder as well but it's a pepto bismol pink color which is also a very nice color. We go through hundreds of thousands of kilo's of these materials. At the rate we handle it, it's very toxic from breathing, skin contact etc. We also make catalysts from a lot of different nickel compounds, copper and precious metals like platinum, silver etc.

    About 40 years ago I camped out in a place near the Salmon Wilderness called Cobalt, Idaho
    It's one of the few cobalt deposits in the US, and it has been working off and on for a long time, mostly on a prospecting basis. It's still being managed, and as the price of cobalt continues to climb, it may become an important source someday. Developing domestic sources of materials like lithium, cobalt, rare earths and other strategic materials is important, but considering the quantities we consume in the US, I don't know how practical it is....
