Diamonds are a cow's best friend
While maybe not in the same league as the goose that laid the golden egg, an Indian diamond merchant's prize cow is producing bejewelled dung.
The merchant had stashed a bag of more than 1,700 small diamonds in a pile of hay at his home in Gujarat state.
But he had not reckoned on the risk posed by a hungry cow.
Now he is feeding the animal a diet of grass, grain, fruit and laxatives, and has so far recovered 300 diamonds in three days.
It is not clear why he chose to hide the stones in the hay.
