Holy cow swallows 1722 diamonds!
A DIAMOND trader in Indias western state of Gujarat has been feeding up a cow for the last 17 days to retrieve the 1722 diamonds the animal swallowed by mistake.

Mohabbatsinh Gohil sifts daily through the cows dung and says that so far he had recovered only 555 of his precious stones. “At the rate at which the cow is discharging my diamonds, it should take another 30 days to get them all back.”

The cow has become a centre of attraction for people in Limdi, who flock around it every day waiting for it to drop its offerings to the waiting Gohil. For every diamond he finds, the crowd breaks into a cheer.
