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!

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.

Nice and large cluster from this new find!
I recently got a nice piece from that locality too and I think they are among the most amazing phantoms in quartz that have ever been found. It's a pleasure to look at all the small sparkling hematites inside that draw sketches of quartz inside of the quartz :-)
