[Potential Spoilers?]Found a strange formation with two pedestals

[Big Mistake]

Each one of the pedestals had a single cobalt on it, but nothing else was weird with the place. I'm assuming this is some sort of secret since there was no pop-up related to it like there is for the teleporter or ore seeds.

Has any functionality been discovered for this yet? Has anyone else found this?
Sorry for the lack of a screen shot, it didn't really stick out to me until I thought about it after the run, if I find it again I'll post an image.

I think it's just that, two cobalt. I don't think there is anything else significant about it.

It's possible that I'm just reading too much into it, but consider this:
It'd be kind of a lot of work to make a formation like that that's functionally the same as a cobalt vein. Have to create the sprites, add the thing to world generation, and so on. Why do all that for something that's just a cobalt vein in a fancy room?

Could be that it's just an attempt at environmental world building, and there are/will be other such aesthetic only formations.

But I have an itching feeling that's not quite it.

ive seen this before! its a world gen event similar to the teleporter or tree seed and from what ive done it can regenerate at a rate of about 3-4 cycles(not so sure on the time but thats what i remember)

Ah, that explains it. I don't think I ever went back to check after finding it initially

This is good to know, I was checking these places for regeneration since I noticed that the powerup fruit regenerates. The mineral seed doesn't, but you can replant it if you dig it up and the resources regenerate every cycle. Obviously the 1-way teleport regenerates in your own pack and not where you grabbed it from. I'm guessing the pet egg spot doesn't regenerate. So they all have some form of regeneration or reuse, except for the pet egg.

Definitely would be very helpful if I knew the cobalt regenerated! Very useful, thanks!

They don't regenerate during "countdown" prestige mode, that's for sure. I checked for about 40 waves in a row. I wonder what happens if you take one Cobalt off a pillar and leave the other one on?
