Girl in Wales finds lucky whale vomit
BANGOR, Wales (UPI) -- A vacationing 10-year old girl is set to become 3,500 pounds -- about $6,633 -- richer from a lump of whale vomit she found on a beach in Wales.
The Sun reported Melissa Cathcart of St. Helens, Merseyside, England, was beachcombing on an island when she came across the waxy substance known as ambergris, also called "floating gold."
Ambergris is used in perfume production to slow evaporation and is worth 10 pounds a gram.
"We recently heard on the radio about ambergris, but when Melissa found some I couldn't believe it!" said Kay, the girl's mother. Kay had reportedly taken the 350-gram lump to the SeaQuarium in Rhyl.
Experts suggested the lump of ambergris probably floated from the Pacific before shoring up on Shell Island, Gwynedd, North Wales.
