Also known as Golden Sheen Sapphire, the rare and captivating Zawdie Chocolate Sapphire is a gemstone that defies expectations. With a rich base of deep chocolate brown infused with a glowing golden or coppery sheen, this sapphire offers a dramatic and earthy alternative to traditional blues. Its surface seems to flicker with inner fire, revealing metallic luster and a subtle play of light that gives the stone a sense of movement and mystery.
This exotic variety of corundum is mined primarily in Africa, and its distinct appearance is the result of natural rutile inclusions that produce the golden shimmer. Unlike other sapphires prized for clarity, Zawdie Sapphires are celebrated for their inclusions, which create the very essence of their beauty. No two stones are alike—each displays its own pattern of shimmer, much like a fingerprint.
With a Mohs hardness of 9, Golden Sheen Sapphires offer all the durability sapphire is known for, making them ideal for rings, pendants, and statement jewelry pieces that are as strong as they are striking. Their natural, untreated beauty and rich, earthen elegance appeal to those who desire something bold, rare, and unapologetically different.
