Ambergris is a flammable, waxy substance that comes from the digestive systems of sperm whales and pygmy sperm whales:
Appearance: A dull gray or blackish solid with a marine, fecal odor when fresh
Origin: It's believed to form when whales eat irritants like squid beaks, which produce a slippery substance to protect their digestive organs
Uses: It's used in perfumery as a fixative
Value: It can sell for up to US $25 per gram, which is close to the price of platinum
Rarity: It's only found in about 1-5% of sperm whales and pygmy sperm whales
