Jewel Mountains of Krypton

Superman and Lyla at the Jewel Mountains, a location with well-formed gems

Kryptonian mountain range composed of crystalline rock and gems. The Jewel Mountains are considered by some as a tourist destination and are visited by Superman and Lyla Lerrol. (S No. 141, Nov. 1960: Superman's Return to Krypton)

At least part of the Jewel Mountains are thought to have formed by the carcasses of gigantic crystal birds that flew to the location deep in Krypton's past to perish at the end of their lives. It is from these Jewel Mountains that the raw material for "Jewel" Kryptonite may be obtained. (Act No. 310, Mar 1964: "Secret of Kryptonite Six!")

The Jewel Mountains were discovered by explorer Bor-Ak. (S No. 164, Oct 1963: "The Fugitive from the Phantom Zone")
