Whale Sick Used in Perfume

A family on South Australia's west coast has discovered a rare specimen of whale vomit on the beach that is tipped to be worth over $1 million.

The specimen, known scientifically as ambergris, is sought after by perfume companies and worth about $US20 per gram.

The sample found on a beach near Streaky Bay weighs 14.75 kilograms.

[ $20/gram seems like a bit much ]

Maybe drug dealers need to enter this market and make some real money.
