Holy Batman!!....er....Superman!!


A new mineral found in Serbia shares virtually the same chemical composition as the fictional "Kryptonite" from the Superman series!

Real Kryptonite is white and powdery

The fictional Kryptonite is green and glows.....giving Superman a tough time.

Scientists discovered the match after Googling its chemical formula-sodium lithium boron silicate hydroxide.


The problem is that the Jadarite (its current nomenclature) is not green and does not glow. Rather, it is white and powdery instead.
