So they finally find some kryptonite in nature! It’s meant to kill superman, but in reality, the stuff is completely harmless. In the films and TV shows, kryptonite is meant to glow green, however this stuff is white and glows pink/orange under UV light.
The chemical composition is Sodium lithium boron silicate hydroxide, which matched the chemical name for kryptonite in the film Superman Returns.
Sadly it cannot be called Kryptonite due to international nomenclature rules since it has nothing to do with the element krypton. However, it will be called jadarite, which is still a cool name in my opinion!
