This new mineral was discovered in the Jadar Valley, Serbia in November 2006.
Jadarite's chemical formula is very close to the formula invented for the fictional substance kryptonite in the 2006 film Superman Returns. This coincidence attracted mass-media attention, and jadarite was covered by ABC, BBC, CNN, Washington Post, and Yahoo, among others. Another case of synchronicity occuring between the movies and real life?
