FREE: Cape May Diamonds

The listing, Cape May Diamonds has ended.

Five Cape May Diamonds I found myself on a beach in Cape May, NJ. 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 ones in the picture will be the exact ones you are getting : )
