Cobalt (II) Chloride Hexahydrate

Where is Cobalt (II) Chloride Hexahydrate found?

Cobalt (II) chloride hexahydrate is a metal used with other metals to make metal alloys. Because cobalt and nickel can be found in many of the same metal products, allergies to both metals can develop. To prevent this, consider wearing jewelry made of sterling silver or other precious metals, rather than costume jewelry. Cobalt is frequently combined with nickel, and this may explain the fact that cosensitivity to these two metals is common. Nickel-plated objects are reported to be the most common exposure.
