Hey rabbitwood, Thanks for bringing back this thread. Wow!.... it is already more than three years since I started using Sajha. Anyway rabbitwood bro, I used to be involved in mining industry before I ran away from Nepal and know little things about mineral deposits and mining in Nepal. And when I got this common platform of Nepalese people 'Sajha',  I thought I should share my knowledge with others and started this thread. If you are really interested in mining industry and want to start small project we can talk to each other about that. I won't be able to do lot of things but I will share whatever the knowledge or experience I have earned through my study and work. There are few hurdles to run mining industry in Nepal but if you become able to overcome those, then you will definitely make good profit from it. And if you are taking about the blue gemstone in the picture above, that is kyanite. I don't think we have proper Nepali name for this mineral. In my first post you can also see link to one website that is asking for US $ 900 for 1 gm of kyanite from Nepal. When I was in Nepal, Indian traders used to buy raw form of that kyanite for NRs. 500 per kg. Look at the price difference after just cutting and polishing that gemstone. BTW, are you in US? If yes give me your cell number in email so that we can talk more about this. Cheers, Last edited: 15-Mar-11 08:17 PM

 Geo Tiger- if you want to persuade someone with your ideas, one way would be to go into the facebook pages of high schools in Nepal and share your ideas. High school students may get more interested. Perhaps talk to school science teachers/headmasters directly though facebook page with your proposal and have them incentivize students in their "class score" if they participate in your ideas of finding and naming "gems in Nepal" and they may get more invovled after that.

I am following too, a friend of mine is opening a gemstone kiosk at a mall.I also got a relative who owns 4 gemstone stores in ktm and they make all the jewelry in house. They have been asking me to help them to expand in US but I dont have any experience in this field. Thank you in advance.

@looser..go work in that mall with your friend perhaps...even part time would be great..Wtihin few months you'll have your own...also people do great business through Etsy..on these kind of craft businesses. May be open an Etsy account, have your family memeber in Nepal response to questions from customers..and you be the point of contact for that page..with phone number etc  Last edited: 19-Feb-18 11:15 AM
