An Australian company Rio Tinto has discovered a mineral in Serbia that geologists say is very close to Kryptonite the mineral that helped make Superman a hero.
Dr. Chris Stanley of the Natural History Museum of UK was contacted by Rio Tinto after they failed to identify the mineral that they had discovered. According to him, when the chemical formula was searched for on the web it revealed something rather startling— the mineral was identical to Kryptonite, the fictitious chemical which sucks power out of Superman. Lex Luther stole Kryptonite in the 2006 movie Superman Returns.
The chemical formula of the new substance comprises of sodium lithium boron silicate hydroxide with an exception to flourine. The mineral will be named Jadarite.
