'Kryptonite' discovered in mine

Wow who cares?

EDIT: OOOOO A NEW MINERAL.... 

That's stupid. Why would they compare it to kryptonite if they are not related in any way other than the fact that they are minerals?

[edit] ahh, I read it again.  It has a very similar chemical makeup.  I see...

According to movie and comic-book storylines, kryptonite is supposed to sap Superman's powers whenever he is exposed to its large green crystals.

The real mineral is white and harmless, says Dr Chris Stanley, a mineralogist at London's Natural History Museum.

"I'm afraid it's not green and it doesn't glow either - although it will react to ultraviolet light by fluorescing a pinkish-orange," he told BBC News.

Yeah sounds just like kryptonite . . .

Maybe so, but I noticed that my superpowers did weaken when I was around this white material.

  I wonder if it is Deadly to Kieth Richards, after all he can not be killed by conventional means.
