Jadarite
The mineral jadarite has the same chemical composition as kryptonite. Discovered in Serbia in 2006, jadarite is composed of sodium, lithium, boron silicate and hydroxide. Those are the same ingredients listed for kryptonite in the film Superman Returns. The only difference is fluorine, which gives kryptonite its green colour
