The Cape May Diamonds are not actually real diamonds, however the translucent pebbles were thought to have been used as a valuable currency in Kechemeche Indian culture, and today they are readily found in the sandy shores of the Cape May Beaches like Sunset Beach New Jersey. They have a unique formation that scientists believe takes thousands of years to create. The source of the Cape May Diamonds is not a massive stone rock or found in a location deep within the sea, it is actually the Delaware River. Pure crystal quartz erodes and breaks off in the Delaware River, and the river’s swift stream carries the stones some 200 miles to the ocean to areas located near Cape May New Jersey. Along the way, the stones are tumbled and smoothed out; a process that generally takes thousands of years before the stones reach the shores of Sunset Beach New Jersey.
