Since no one else is asking this question, the answer is probably right under my nose, yet I can't find it...
I have a Mirinae, Teardrop of the Starweaver (smite gem) in my soloing unity ring. I also want to level one up for my "group play" ring. How do I get a second Mirnae to drop from a greater rift guardian? I am sure I can have my seasonal character get them and wait for them to rollover post season, but there has to be a quicker way to get a rank 0 legendary gem.
Put the gem on a different character (just in their inventory) or on your follower and you'll get a second one. However, this gem really shines when you get it to level 25, so I wouldn't bother with getting a second one before I have hit a "max level" on all my gems that I consider wearing.
@Porpoh: This gem is the #1 gem for some classes/specs, for example Sunwoku monks.
I'm implying the gem is bad, guaranteed I don't play all classes/specs, but in general others seem much stronger as a primary choice to level.
Unless you're going super out of your way for some funky build I'm not aware of like Bagstone mentioned (lel monks)
As stated above, it's worth getting this one to 25. And the 15% is better than you think, in testing I had this proc more often than it would lead you to believe.

Thanks Bag! I will try that to see if another one drops. Currently it is at level 32 (3280% weapon damage), which works well for T6 soloing and keywarden farming.
@Porpoh: Combining +58% holy damage, it is smiting for nearly 5200% weapon damage, making it very useful for single target fights (bosses, keywardens, rift guardians). I don't think there is a better gem for holy crusaders.
The "glass is half empty" argument against it is the lvl 25 power of "zapping" something every 5 seconds with a surpirsingly long range: I have had it trigger goblins on the edge of the screen to run before I was ready to take them on, which is annoying. Kind of like the way pet classes have to be careful around goblins.
UPDATE: putting the gem on follower did not cause a rank 0 gem of that type to drop from greater rift guardians. However, doing a greater rift with another character (while the rank 32 gem was on follower of another character) did allow a rank 0 to drop.
Put the wanted jewel on a mule and go back in and get another one, it's that simply. I have a wreath of lightning for both my lightning monk and a lightning wizzy. easy peasy.
The hard thing is putting away your Hoarder jewel to find another, it's addictive...I call it "Precious"...
