East Africa (Tanzania) Alexandrite
East Africa, particularly Tanzania, has become a significant modern source supplying most of today's commercial-to-fine alexandrite.
Tanzanian alexandrite varies widely in color-change strength, from subtle shifts to genuinely fine stones that rival historic material in performance, generally at more accessible prices than confirmed Russian origin. It has meaningfully expanded the overall global supply of this otherwise very scarce gemstone.
