8.66-Carat Cushion-Cut Natural Alexandrite: A Rare Tanzanian Treasure This remarkable 8.66-carat Alexandrite, crafted in a oval cut, is a testament to rarity and beauty. Certified by AGL, the foremost authority on colored gemstones, the gem exhibits a spectacular 80–90% color change, it shifts from a bluish-green in daylight to a vibrant purple-pink under incandescent light, showcasing the unique phenomenon that has captivated gem enthusiasts for centuries. What makes this gem even more extraordinary is its origin: Tanzania, a country renowned for its wealth of rare and exotic gemstones. From the vivid hues of tanzanite to the brilliance of spinels, Tanzania has long been a jewel-rich land. However, Alexandrite from Tanzania is an exceptional rarity, made even more significant by its dwindling availability. On one of our recent expeditions to Tanzania (2017), we were unable to find even a single Alexandrite, with local vendors confirming that the country’s deposits no longer produce this coveted gemstone. The scarcity of Tanzanian Alexandrites elevates this gem to an unparalleled level of exclusivity. A stone of this size, quality, and strong color change is exceedingly rare and commands admiration from seasoned collectors and investors alike. Its origin and exceptional characteristics make it a centerpiece worthy of the finest private collections. For the discerning collector, this 8.66-carat Alexandrite offers the opportunity to own not just a gemstone but a tangible piece of Tanzania’s natural history. Its rarity, beauty, and the mystique of its now-defunct origins ensure that this is a once-in-a-lifetime acquisition.

WHY BUY PADPARADSCHA SAPPHIRES FROM US?
drop down arrow

A true Padparadscha must be certified as “Padparadscha” Sapphire by a lab. Not all labs are reliable for such responsibility. We will never self-certify a sapphire as Padparadscha. We pride ourselves on using reliable third party independent labs like GIA, and AGL for most of our gems. These labs follow the latest testing methods, like color stability testing, to confirm that gems are actually “Padparadscha.” We recommend watching this video, to learn more, check out our Padparadscha guide.

I found The Rare Gem doing hours of research on the perfect gem for my engagement ring and decided on Alexandrite for its beauty and unique color changing qualities. It was important for us to buy from a reliable and trustworthy source and The Rare Gem was just that.

Loved the alexandrite ring I got from the rare gem. It looked even better in person than on the website. I had a lot of difficulty finding a jeweler that had alexandrite and I was very happy with the selection that Justin had.

Great friendly service.  They were very accommodating with my scheduling constraints.  They were very knowledgeable and took their time with me.  They were genuinely interested in my satisfaction. Their website provides a great education on Alexandrite.

I had an amazing experience working with Justin and his team. I'm so glad I found the Rare Gem, because I was having a hard time sourcing a quality Russian stone prior. The whole process was a breeze. Justin was extremely knowledgeable and responsive and offered several options.
