'''Cobaltite''' is a black stone. Its particularly high [[density]] makes it useful for [[trap#Stone-fall_Trap|stone-fall traps]] and as [[catapult]] ammunition, and its very dark color makes it well-suited for various aesthetic purposes.

'''Cobaltite''' is a brilliant blue stone (notably, the '''only''' stone of its color) found as veins in numerous environments. Despite its appearance (showing up as {{Raw Tile|£|1:7:1}} unmined and {{Raw Tile|*|1:1}} mined), it is '''not''' a usable ore.

[[Human]]s are known to mistake cobaltite for more valuable ores, suffering from severe bouts of [[Syndrome|fun]] from attempting to smelt it. Dwarves of course find this endlessly amusing, especially when the humans inevitably claim that [[kobold]]s tampered with the ore.
