A tremendously exceptional chunk of ambergris, i.e., whale vomit, was discovered by a pedestrian on a UK beach and is being contemplated to earn more than seven lakhs of Indian rupees in a never before auction of its genre.

The chunk of whale vomit looks like a rock made of wax, and its main function is to extend the period of perfume. The pedestrian found it on the Anglesey shore in Northern Wales.

This 8 inches by 6 inches ambergris weighed about 1.1 kg and was supposed to remain afloat for many decades before reaching the beach. This protection-inducing subject originated in the sperm whale’s intestine to safeguard them from the squid beaks. They consume these squids and then eject this substance out like vomit.

Primarily used in the perfume industry, this highly valued rare element will be auctioned soon and is 100% genuine.
