"Crystal opal. Beautiful blues and greens like I've never seen before."

Corrina, do you realize how much this sounds like kryptonite????
Oh now there's a good thought, Ann! That never even crossed my mind. I suppose Kryptonite could have landed anywhere on the planet really. If it turns out to be Kryptonite that could make for an interesting angle in this story. /QUOTE]
I agree that it would make for an interesting angle, but wouldn't a jeweler be able to discern the difference between an unusually coloured opal and a substance that is completely novel to him? Even the shiniest opal fully polished surely wouldn't glow in the dark the way kryptonite does!
