Scientists at the National History Museum in London and Canada's Natural Research Council have discovered a mineral matching the unique chemistry of "Kryptonite,"(as described in the film Superman Returns), which we know as Superman's only weakness in the comics and movies. However, this newly discovered mineral is not in the form of radioactive green crystals from outer space (planet Krypton in the movies), but is a non-radioactive white powder found in Serbia. I just thought this was a cool discovery and wanted to share it with you all. Check out the links/articles below for more information:

Yup yup. Been around a long time. Just hard to find naturally occurring cases.
Yeah, I thought I had heard that before, but all kinds of articles came out today about kryptonite being discovered in Serbia. Btw, thanks for commenting! ~pyrochica
