It could be upchuck for megabucks! It's called Ambergris or floating gold. Ambergris, is the vomit of the sperm whale, it comes out almost clear and turns darker over time. It is a very rare substance and could fetch two Britains a million bucks. While walking along the beach the two found 110lbs of this waxy substance. The perfume industry covets this natural form of perfume ingredient largely because of it's rarity and because most manufacturers have switched to synthetic versions. If it does indeed turn out the be this floating gold the pair hope to be able to find a buyer in the perfume industry. A sample of the find is being tested at a University to see if it is the real thing.
All we can say is good luck with the upchuck!
