Learn more about Cape May Diamonds and
the story behind them.
 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.
