== Properties == Cobaltite naturally appears in the form of a [[tetartoid]], a form of dodecahedron with chiral tetrahedral symmetry. Its impurities may contain up to 10% [[iron]] and variable amounts of [[nickel]].<ref name=Klein>Klein, Cornelus and Cornrlius Hurlbut, 1996, ''Manual of Mineralogy'', 20th ed., Wiley, p.288, {{ISBN|0-471-80580-7}}</ref> Cobaltite can be separated from other minerals by selective, pH controlled, flotation methods, where cobalt recovery usually involves [[hydrometallurgy]]. It can also be processed with [[pyrometallurgical]] methods, such as flash smelting.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.danafloat.com/uk/mining_ores/copper_cobalt|title=Copper-Cobalt ores|website=www.danafloat.com|language=en-US|access-date=2018-04-04}}</ref>
