Is PbAuKrO the green krytonite or the red kryptonite?

On his native planet of Krypton (so named because its atmosphere
consists of
~80% Krypton and 20% Oxygen) Kr is not inert and actually serves as a
necessary metabolite. Its isotope, Kr-85 is what imparts extraordinary
hormetic powers .
The mineral Kryptonite [PbAuKrO] adsorbs Kr-85, and transmutes it to
Sr-90 (by capturing 2 and 1/2 alpha particles), which is then transferred it
to the teeth of human babies who reside in the vicinity of nuclear power
plants. I hope this makes it all clear to you.
