Nice piece, Mike! I never heard of that place too. If it is from Nuristan, I would guess most likely from Paprok. And this mining area has a lot of several mines and pits and tunnels, maybe one of them is named "Page Comgel" or somehow similiar which resulted in this name when it was tranferred into our alphabet.
P.S. I love that Cavnic barite - a superb piece!

I agree. It looks like a Lego piece assembly.

Thanks Tobi and Firmo!
I reached out to the dealer for the elbaite and he said that he too had issues validating the locality. But he believes that the information is correct and that the collector sought out obscure locations for his specimens.
