Cobalt-bearing black crusts form films and crusts cementing pebbles in a conglomerate. Mined in ancient times to produce blue ceramic glazes for Seto pottery. Samples of this conglomerate are distributed worldwide in systematic or species collections, generally as "asbolite", although chemical analyses show that it is cobaltoan lithiophorite, not asbolane.
