As a Potter that works in clay, I use cobalt oxide (black in color) and cobalt carbonate (purplish color). I never have seen the raw mineral cobalt, but you may want to check some pottery glaze or mineral websites. Let us know what you find!

It is found naturally only in chemically combined form. The free element, produced by reductive smelting...(look up in Wiki...)
