Description
A pale to medium violet pigment. Cobaltous arsenate, or light cobalt violet, occurs in nature as cobalt bloom or erythrite. Once it was synthetically produced in 1880, it became an important permanent, violet pigment. Cobaltous arsenate is now rarely used because of its toxicity. It has been replaced by the use of cobaltous phosphate and cobaltous ammonium phosphate. Cobaltous arsenate was used as a colorant in paints, glass, glazes, and enamels.
