After all these years of searching, it's been found. Yes, real kryptonite:
They found it in a mine in Serbia. Strangely enough, it matched the descrption and chemical composition of kryptonite given in the Superman comic books and "Superman Returns" movie. Now, this is a composition of real-life elements, all packed together to make a rock. When it was first devised, it was either random or it was carefully put together to be something outrageous no one would ever find. Unfortunately, it's been found now.
The article states that there's no flourine in it, whereas in the comic book canon descrption it does... so it's not quite right, but it's pretty close. That's good enough for me. Now I won't have to worry about Superman coming up and bothering me all the time.
