for those of you who do not know what this is .
Ambergriss is Whale Vomit Used for Perfumes and so on its Very dry and very light looks like plastic except all of the Krill shells left in it .

From web page:

Ambergris - also referred to as 'whale ambergris' or 'grey amber'. A substance steeped in mystery for centuries. We buy and sell genuine "beach cast" ambergris hand collected by dedicated beachcombers from the pristine coastline of New Zealand. No whales are harmed in order to collect the ambergris.

If you have some ambergris and would like more information about selling it please visit our 'sell ambergris' page.

Have you found some ambergris? If you think you may have found some ambergris but you are not sure, visit our 'identification' page for more information.

We also offer a unique opportunity to purchase a small piece of genuine ambergris as a gift or for personal use. If you would like to buy some ambergris please visit our 'buy ambergris' page


Its Rare find so im lucky today Grins Tammy

patty- a scam? no no! its one of the most valuable substances. definately the most valueable substance from a living being that you dont have to hunt (kill the animal) for.

ive never smelled it. I heard about someone else who had found a washed-up one on GW before it got bad over there.

I believe in it, but was thinking how would one know that's what it is. It must be a more solid mass with distinctive marks or something. I woulda thought any vomit would just spread around as more of a liquid. I'd love to see this! Garnet, you said you never smelled it? And they use it for perfumes??!! It must not smell too bad. How weird.

This is interesting..never heard of this. My dictionary says: 'A waxy grayish substance formed in the intestines of sperm whales & found floating at sea or washed ashore. It is used as a fixitive in perfumes'
Sounds more like poop than vomit LOL.
