Answer 2

When you say "obtained" do you mean where is it found or where can I buy it?

It is found in nature as cobalt compounds and not the pure metal. The country with the largest Co resesrves is the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is also found in Zambia, Russia, and Brazil.

Co can be purchased from metal specialty companies like Advent Research Materials Ltd. or Spex Industries.
