Cobaltite is a black stone in Premium mode, or a brilliant blue stone in ASCII mode. Its particularly high density makes it useful for stone-fall traps and as catapult ammunition, and its color makes it well-suited for various aesthetic purposes.
Despite its appearance in ASCII mode (showing up as £ unmined and * mined), it is not a usable ore.
In Real Life
Cobaltite is an ore of cobalt, a metal not modeled in Dwarf Fortress. Interestingly, the name derives from the word kobold.
A chunk of cobaltite rock.

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