Whitby Jet comes from the monkey puzzle

Whitby Jet comes from the monkey puzzle tree.

Whitby jet can be found on the coastline of Guess where? Yes Whitby :-) This is just the little film below explains the origins of this fine black mysterious stone which can make beautiful jewellery. It explains if you go beachcombing for Whitby Jet which is valuable etc how to tell the real McCoy from black coal stones which are worthless.

I'm going to design a new website which will have all the main historical stories about Whitby and its surrounding coastline. It's going to be in the form of a WordPress blog so that if people wish to comment on storys they will have the opportunity. I'll be including pictures and films.



If you fancy a break in beautiful Whitby take a look at Endeavour Cottage. Totally flexible short-term breaks available from two days onwards.
