Seems a new mineral, called jadarite, has the same chemical composition as kryptonite, with a few exceptions:
  1. It does not include fluorine
  2. It is not green
  3. It is not radioactive

Actually, Lois Lane has been wearing a Jaderite necklace for years - all the Supermen you see in the movies are really Hollywood fakes - the real one, an overweight Clark Kent, has been raising kids (not 'super'either), quietly mowing the lawn, washing dishes and writing 'how to' stories for a small town weekly in some obscure rural district for years.
