Is Real Kryptonite Found in a Mine?

In summary, researchers from mining group Rio Tinto discovered a new mineral with a chemical formula of sodium lithium boron silicate hydroxide. They enlisted the help of Dr. Stanley when they couldn't find a match for it in science. Later, they discovered that the same scientific name was written on a case of rock containing kryptonite stolen by Lex Luthor. This led to a call for all persons with superpowers to report for testing with provided capes. It was then revealed that the new mineral may be "White Kryptonite", which only affects plant life. The conversation also brought to light the various types of kryptonite, showing a lack of knowledge on the subject.

But wait, this new mineral is white. Thus it must be "White Kryptonite", and, as everyone knows, White Kryptonite only affects plant life.

Looks a bit silvery from the side. So it'll either only kill plants or turn you paranoid.

Wow, I was way behind on my knowledge of Kryptonite. I didn't realize that there are so many kinds.
