FREE: Cape May Diamonds and one pink!

The listing, Cape May Diamonds and one pink! has ended.

Ten Cape May Diamonds and one interesting pink stone 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 and as always free shipping!
