I consider a specimen of garnet var. hessonite from Afghanistan. It is provided with the locality info "Tagao Mine, Kunar, Afghanistan". I became a little bit suspicious of that because i never heard that name before. Mindat doesn't know a locality with that name, even Google was no help. So i fear that something could be wrong with that information. Does anybody know what place could be meant with that description? Or maybe it was just a typing error and the name is something similar? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
