Did you know?

Derived from "kobolds," legendary creatures from Scandinavian folklore, which miners of old accused of turning silver into a blue mineral, cobalt refers to a natural metallic element of varying turquoise blue shades.

As a fun fact: The final "T" in cobalt is not pronounced in New Caledonia, so the derived word is "cobaleur" instead of "cobalteur."

In any case, the "Cobaleurs Waterhole" gets its name from the miners who both shaped and used it to extract cobalt....
