Zimbaqua was founded in 2019 as Africa’s first All Women Mine empowering women through the mining of aquamarine gemstones. We have chosen to empower women through mining because we believe there is a need for change and inclusivity.

In order to give the women at the mine a higher wage and in order to expand our production we created a jewelry collection! The unique jewelry made by our artists features aquamarine that has been unearthed in the Zimbaqua mine, and the profits from the jewelry directly benefit our miners and their families.
