An extremely rarely found gemstone of which specimens were not found until much later than most gemstones were known, in the 1950s, has only ever been found in Myanmar. What is its name?

Not that one, though when the one in question was first discovered in the 1950s, it was mistakenly thought to be of that type.

I am at something of a loss here with the possibilities of a type of Indian mathematical problem solving and a modern musical grouping.

One of those is close to the answer.

This is a mathematical curiosity where you take a 4 digit number where at least 2 of the digits are different. You order the digits into ascending and descending order, inserting leading zeros if required. You subtract tge smaller from the larger number and if the number obtained isn't kaprekars constant then you repeat the steps using the obtained number, eventually you will get 6174, doing ordering and subtracting on this will get you 6174, hence the constant bit.
