Spherocobaltite or sphaerocobaltite is the mineral form of Cobalt(II) carbonate (CoCO3).

Rare specimens of pure spherocobaltite typically show a rose-red color, but the color range of impure specimens extends to shades of pink and pale brown.

Spherocobaltite was first described in 1877 for an occurrence within cobalt and nickel veins in the St. Daniel Mine of the Schneeberg District, Ore Mountains, Saxony, Germany.

The name is from the Greek "sphaira", sphere, and cobalt, in reference to its typical crystal habit and composition.

[2] It occurs within hydrothermal cobalt-bearing mineral deposits as a rare phase associated with roselite, erythrite, annabergite and cobalt rich calcite and dolomite.
