[2][3] Cobaltoblödite was found in the Blue Lizard mine, San Juan County, Utah, USA, which is known for secondary uranium minerals.
[4] Cobaltoblödite occurs intimately intergrown with manganese-, cobalt- and nickel-enriched blödite and a yet another new mineral - manganoblödite.
It is also analogous to changoite, manganoblödite and nickelblödite - other members of the blödite group.
[3] Manganoblödite is impure, containing admixtures of magnesium, manganese and nickel.
[2] Besite blödite and cobaltoblödite, other minerals associated with manganoblödite include chalcanthite, gypsum, johannite, sideronatrite, a feldspar group-mineral and quartz.
