The Legend of the Cape May Diamond
by Trinka Hakes NobleThe Legend of the Cape May Diamond At the southernmost tip of New Jersey, on a narrow point of land, lies the charming resort town of Cape May. Gently sheltering the Delaware Bay, the white sand beaches of this natural peninsula are sprinkled with stones of pure quartz crystal. Formed by melting glaciers thousands of years ago, the Delaware River flows some 200 miles down from its headwaters to spill into the Delaware Bay. And for thousands of years, fragments of pure quartz crystal have ridden the river, plucked from the mountains lining its banks. Polished and buffed as they tumble along, these once-unassuming rock particles dazzle like gemstones when tossed onto Cape May's sandy shore. Beloved by beachcombers, these 'diamonds' are the daughters of the river, linking New Jersey's past and present. Delving into the natural beauty and rich history of the Delaware River and New Jersey's famous coastline, storyteller Trinka Hakes Noble has crafted a wondrous, creative tale explaining the ancient origins of the Cape May diamond. Picture descriptions present.
