    That man be me.

    Popped over to lidl in rathmines this evening to buy diced beef for my dinner.

    Delicious btw, but chewing on the meat I find something hard,

    clean it off and it is a gem, a blue gem.

    I'll post pics tomorrow, figured it was a cheap piece of glass jewellery that fell off a worker packaging the meat or something but it scratches glass like butter and I cannot mark it with an array of sharp implements.

    Will bring it to a jeweller tomorrow and post pics when my housemate gets home and lets me borrow his camera.

    Very very random

    EDIT- Can anyone recommend a jeweller around D2 fitzwilliam baggot street area I can go at lunch tomorrow

    I went into Lidl once to get some bread.

    I came out with a snorkel, some Russian anchovies & a set of tent pegs.

    What do you use to catch Russian anchovies?
    A nyet

    You sure it wasn't Viagra?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,073 ✭✭✭Pottler


    If you'd swallowed it you could have had a blue diamond in your ring.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 34,809 ✭✭✭✭smash


    Rub it against some sandpaper. Diamonds don't scratch!

    They also disperse heat very fast so breath on it and have a look, the condensation should have dispersed by the time you look at it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,177 ✭✭✭sundodger5


    glass can scratch glass, so not a real test.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 537 ✭✭✭rgmmg


    I was hoping it was a Mitsubishi Blue Diamond :pac:

    You work for Lidl, don't you? :b

    If it turns out not to be a precious stone, then you should keep the packaging, keep the stone and make a complaint to Lidl.

    I knew Lidl and Aldi were doing well but they must be making a fortune if they have diamonds lying around their production facilities!

    Didn't someone wearing some blue bling disappear inside a meat processing plant a while ago? What did the meat taste like?:confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,012 ✭✭✭Plazaman


    It's just a German Custom this time of the year, you'll find blue diamonds in all Lidl and Aldi meat products in July. It's akin to our rings in Barm Brack at Halloween.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,115 ✭✭✭chrismon


    Any luck yet op?

    Do you mean a sapphire?

    diamonds come in blue too
    dark blue = sapphire, lighter blue may be a diamond. Yellow green and purple are also common enough.

    check out all the colours:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Aurora_Diamond_Collection.jpg

    it could just be a manufactured one though, in which case it's pretty much worthless, or a chemically altered one which is also worth less than normal :)
    how big is it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,641 ✭✭✭Teyla Emmagan


    It will probably turn out to be some calcified cancerous lump that the poor cow had.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,827 ✭✭✭christmas2012


    Id be cashing it in asap


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,096 ✭✭✭✭the groutch


    Remember the good old days when you got black diamonds in your telly?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,559 ✭✭✭✭AnonoBoy


    Blue diamond?

    [Some vague viagra-related joke here]

    Eh? Am I right?






    (I'm busy, I'll come back to this later.)

    It'd be weird being proposed to by a piece of meat.

    I mean, I would I hope I saw him as more than that.

    Oh, and the OP story is mad.

    they are made of the same stuff as good sandpaper

    so don't sandpaper it till you know the paper doesn't use corundum or tungsten carbide or silicon carbide

    also sapphires are brittle


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,725 ✭✭✭charlemont


    I'd like to find Pearl Diamond on my meat..;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,073 ✭✭✭Pottler


    A really handy test for any diamond is to put it on a metal surface and hit it really hard with a hammer. If it smashes into a thousand pieces, it was a diamond, if it doesn't, it's fake. Try this test OP - you might have found a fake. I have tried this test yesterday on all my wifes diamonds and they were all real. I am going to type my findings up in a spreadsheet and show her - she will be delighted as she thought one or two of them might have been fakes. Who needs jewellers eh. I'm going to buy a holiday with the money I have saved by not needing to get them professionally appraised. A mate gave me this handy tip btw. Usually he's a thick fecker, but for once he was bang on.:)
