Gary and Angela Williams stumbled upon a peculiar find while walking on Middleton Sands Beach in the UK. At first glance, the object appeared to be an ordinary stone, but something urged them to investigate further. As Angela puts it, “It looked like a dinosaur egg.” Their curiosity paid off because what they found turned out to, be quite valuable. The mysterious object was identified as Gray Amber, a substance created in the intestines of sperm whales. When these whales ingest sharp objects like squid beaks, their intestines produce a sticky substance to protect their insides. Over time, these substances harden into lumps with a distinctive scent. Describing the find, Gary said it smelled “like something between fish and natural fertilizer.” Despite its unappealing appearance and odor,  this one-and-a-half-kilogram piece of Gray Amber was worth a hefty $70,000. However, it’s worth noting that in some places, possessing it is illegal due to its connection to whaling. The Williams’ unexpected discovery turned out to be a valuable wind.
