Now, scientists have deciphered the exact geologic conditions needed to create this extremely rare mineral. Most of us know kryptonite as the mineral weakness of the otherwise invulnerable Superman. Understanding the exact geologic conditions under which jadarite can form should help scientists target other areas of the world that mean similar conditions, and thus could house more of the mineral. First, find the geologic recipe, then hunt for those conditions around the world. Finding other jadarite deposits could be particularly lucrative, as they have both a higher lithium content and lower energy route for extraction than other mineral lithium sources, such as spodumene.
