The quest for exotic Quantum Spin Liquids (QSL) with the most entangled quantum states, particularly in Kitaev Quantum Spin Liquid candidates, has posed significant challenges in the last two decades. The presence of non-Kitaev interactions has been a primary obstacle, as they destabilize the QSL ground state. To overcome this hurdle, a search for candidates with more localized d-orbitals, such as 3d cobaltates, was proposed, aiming to eliminate non-Kitaev interactions despite their weak spin-orbit interaction. In this study, we employed thermodynamic methods to characterize such a cobaltate KQSL candidate, Na3Co2SbO6 (NCSO). Our investigations, including M(H,T) and Cp(T) studies on high quality single crystals, confirm AFM order in NCSO at TN = 7 K. Our M(T) data reveal that NCSO is an easy-plane magnet with large anisotropy in ab-plane and two metamagnetic transitions, manifestation of field-induced phases in the ordered phase. From the M(H), M(T) and Cp(T) data we mapped out the magnetic phase diagram of NCSO in the light of theoretical predictions.
