New mineral has kryptonite composition


LONDON - A mineral recently discovered in Serbia has the same composition as kryptonite — the fictional substance that robs Superman of his powers — the British Museum said Tuesday. While the material is not a perfect match, its chemical breakdown is strikingly similar.
.....
"Towards the end of my research I searched the Web using the mineral's chemical formula, sodium lithium boron silicate hydroxide, and was amazed to discover that same scientific name written on a case of rock containing kryptonite stolen by Lex Luthor from a museum in the film 'Superman Returns,'" Stanley said.
The material is white, powdery and not radioactive — unlike the glowing green crystals usually depicted in the Superman comics. It will be formally named Jadarite when it is described in the European Journal of Mineralogy later this year.

Life imitates art—so we really shouldn't be surprised by stuff like this! :lol:

My thought exactly! Funny coincidence though.


Yes the name on the Box in a Lex Luthor Display has the similar chemical make up as what was found in Syberia. :)


Now if someone could just create a "Shipstone" and our power issues would be solved. :D ;)

Very funny, when you consider how detailed and specific that chemical description of the mineral in question is... what are the odds of that particular sequence of substance names, in just that order, turning up at random???

Forget the Shipstone. I want a working Tesla Free Energy box and the Philosopher's Stone.
