Why whale vomit is too expensive ? - AMBERGRIS The Floating Gold
The Whale vomit !!!! . Why it is too expensive ? I'll tell you. Whale vomit is also called as " ambergris " " treasure of the sea " and " floating gold ". Ambergris is a waxy and solid substance formed due to the secretion of bile duct in the intestine of sperm whale . It floats in water. When exposed to the sunlight, air and sea water it hardens, fades to a light grey and yellow in colour. Eventually develops fragrance. And now it has been highly valued by perfume makers as a fixative . These whales are not normally harmed during the collection of ambergris, The sale of this product is also illegal because it is produced from an endangered species .
