Brownite

Inspired by a blog, I came up with a definition:

Brownite is similar to Kryptonite.

Seemingly green on the outside, but deepest in the red within, it is in fact made from the shards of a previously destroyed civilisation, and when brought near anyone of competence or anything of promise sucks the very life out of it, leaving a powerless husk.
