Best Answer

Whale vomit is called Ambergris, and it is/was used in the perfume industry. It is highly valuable if it has been floating around for a few years, getting washed and polished by the sea and baked by the sun, losing its pungent smell and developing a sweet aroma. Current prices are around the £10 per gram mark.

Whale vomit also known as Ambergris is a dead gray, solid, wax like material that is created in the intestines and digestive system of sperm whales (people think).
