I was contacted by Metal Flowers Media last year, they were going to do a show Ambergris Hunters, (traveling the seas for floating Ambergris, (which takes years and years to rippen), and searching remote islands), and of course I got slected for the show, Discovery was going to pick it up but soon changed their minds on it and didn't think it would be profitable for them. France is a big buyer of Ambergris, they use it in their high dollar perfume for women.

It's barf. It smells like a wood shop. Here's a 6# piece I mounted on black walnut.

That's a pretty cool mount...and expensive. If the $20/gram figure is still valid, that 6lb. piece of ambergris is worth $54,480, plus the price of the walnut and the little brass tag. I hope you have it insured.
