The listing, Rare PINK Cape May Diamonds has ended.

Three extremely rare pink Cape May Diamonds I found myself on a beach in Cape May, NJ. Usually they are clear in color and it's pretty rare to find one tinge with pink or yellow. One of these is a pretty dark pink and the other two are lighter almost orange in color but still see thru. Cape May diamonds are actually real quartz crystal, and are clear stones (I had a hard time with the pictures but I tried the best I could). The Kechemeche Indians were among the first to find these diamonds and they believed they had mystical powers and use to present them to each other as a token of friendship and also given as gifts to newlyweds and used as a trade item for early European settlers. The diamonds are washed upon the shores from a location underwater over 200 miles away and each one travels over a thousand years in the water until it reaches only a few beaches on the cape of New Jersey. These are ones that I just recently found and if you have a rock tumbler they will really sparkle but they are actually very pretty as is. They are used to make jewelry and when taken to a jeweler they can be cut to look exactly like real diamonds, hence the name, and have even been used locally for engagement rings! They are a fascinating read if you have a few minutes please google Sunset Beach Cape May Diamonds to learn more about their history. Happy Bidding! P.S. The diamonds shown in the pictures will be the actual ones you are you getting.

We have LOTS of these in our collection from Sunset Beach in Cape May Point~ but could never part with them! LOL:) We also have LOTS of the clear diamonds as well:)

The stones that we would love to have more of, are the totally BLACK ones.
We call them BLACK ICE:)
Do you happen to have any of the BLACK ICE stones??

I have lots too all over our house lol, my favorite thing is I have a small bowl of just the clear ones, and you add a few tabs of scented oil and it's an instant air fresher and the oil really makes them shine. As for the black ones, I DO a couple of them too but I wasn't sure if they were considered crystals or just a pretty rock lol? Fortunately I live close enough to the beach so I picked these up specifically for listia.
