George Brandt, born in Riddarhyttan, Skinnskatteberg parish, Västmanland to Jurgen Brandt, a mineowner and pharmacist, and Katarina Ysing, is a professor of chemistry at Uppsala University.
He is able in about 1735 to show that cobalt is the source of the blue color in glass, which previously had been attributed to the bismuth found with cobalt.
He thus becomes the first person to discover a metal unknown in ancient times.
