The beach is a great place to relax under the sun. But aside from being a go-to place for relaxation, did you know that you can also find treasures on the sand? Very few people know that there are a lot of valuable items on the beach, if you know the right place to look. This is exactly what happened to this fisherman in Thailand.

While he was walking on the beach, Jumrus found what seemed to be a large, yellowish rock. Curious with its appearance, he took it home to show to his family. Much to Jumrus’ surprise, it turned out that what he found was not just any rock, but an ambergris!
Ambergris, simply put, is whale’s vomit. This is formed from a secretion of the bile duct in the sperm whale. Most of the time, ambergris can be found on the stomach of dead sperm whales. But there are also some rare instances when it is washed up on coastlines, as with Jumrus’ encounter.
According to experts, since Jumrus’ ambergris was massive, it can cost as much as £250,000, or more than P14.5 million! With this hefty price tag, we’re sure that Jumrus can finally quit his work as a fishermen and live comfortably for the rest of his life.
But what makes ambergris so valuable? As it turns out, the longer the ambergris floats on the ocean, the better its scent will become. Most perfume makers in the world covet this rare find because it can make their perfumes long-lasting.
Even luxury brands like Chanel use Ambergris in some of their perfumes.
