Azrat Syed; Hazrat Saeed
Sapphire and dravite occurrence in gneissic granite with lots of mica. Dudley Blauwet (2014) writes: "On my Dari Map, it is shown as Hazrat Saeed, about 50-60 km down the Kokcha from Sar-e-Sang, below Jurm. In Urdu, Saeed would be spelled Sayed. When pronounced to me in Dari, the "H" was very soft and came across as Azrat."
