So what is ambergris?

Ambergris is a waste product from whale, released as a result of irritation of the mucous membrane from eating squid. Ambergris is secreted inside the mouth whale to heal the ulcers. The waxy substance accumulates inside the mucous membrane of the  whale, and over time, reaching a certain size, it leaves the body of the  whale, and being lighter in density than water, it floats for some time in the water until this piece is washed ashore. The stones of this substance are more and more difficult to find every year. The cost of ground powder reaches almost 450 euros per gram. The pieces found on the shore or in the sea are dried and determined in an alcohol solution for 5-6 years. After such exposure, a grayish or pure white color is acquired, and the hue also changes. Ambergris will smell like something animal, earthy and necessarily warm. It is used to consolidate aroma in perfumery and the culture of incense - on its basis, wonderful aromatic compositions are made in combination with herbs and spices. Homeopathy has also been used for these unusual stones, and has been used to treat insomnia, neurosis and depression.

Ambergris was found on the coast of Africa, India, Brazil and China. Ambergris chunks were black or brown in color and appeared on coasts near the sea.
