The dog came across a lump of valuable ambergris, which comes from a sperm whale’s intestine A fisherman’s dog found a rare lump of ‘whale vomit’ on a beach in Scotland that could be worth thousands. Patrick Williamson was walking his pet on Irvine Beach in Ayrshire when it sprinted towards a mysterious rock on the shore. The rock, it turned out, was a 5oz clump of ambergris – which is secretion produced in the intestines of sperm whales.
’ When he got closer, Patrick saw it was a pale grey rock with brown and amber streaks and suspected it could be ambergris. The 5oz lump of ambergris discovered by Patrick’s dog Ambergris – also known as ‘floating gold’ is sold by weight, with one chunk found in the Canary Islands this year weighing 21 pounds – and valued at £394,000.
