According to NJMonthly.com:
“Cape May diamonds may have more than just monetary or sentimental value. In an earlier time, the local Kechemeche Indians, a part of the Lenni-Lenape tribe, believed the gems had supernatural powers to influence the well-being and good fortune of their possessor. The bonds of friendship and lasting goodwill were often sealed with gifts or exchanges of the sacred gems.”
Cape May Point is a tiny historical shore town at the tip of New Jersey, the southern point of the peninsula tail of the southern Jersey shore. It’s the home to the Cape May Lighthouse, concrete ship Atlantis, WWII tower, and Sunset Beach.
