Hello Rob Woodside , Dudley Blauwet , Andy Stucki and John Montgery
It was nice to read the articles edited by Dudley Blauwet in regards to buying minerals in Nepal .
I want to take above mentioned you four friends to Surkhet District a hub to minerals .
You can catch a flight to Surkhet or ride a bus . Also on the way you can visit Bardia National Park a big park in Asia .
Being Surkhet my old house , I can gather couple of miners , diggers. Especially mountain people produce kyanites and Dravites ( greenish , yellowgreenish , brownish ) .
So , you can observe the dravites & kyanites and give your specification to bring next time .
If you are really good trekker , we can arrange trek to visit 5,6 mining areas in Jajarkot and Dailekh District This is for your kind information .
Thanks & BGRDS Ad shah
