Ric,
To convert from Cobalt Oxide to Cobalt Carbonate in a recipe multiply by
1.55. For example 2% Cobalt Oxide would be equivalent to 2.1%

Cobalt oxide is much more concentrated than the cobalt cabonate form. Basic Chemistry question.
make sure you are using the proper form of cobalt for the formula. I don't remember the exact difference but MAJOR difference between carbonates and oxides...like 8 to 1 in strength ?
