Let It Be Whale Vomit, Not Just Sea Junk
By COREY KILGANNON
The New York Times
MONTAUK, N.Y. (Dec. 18) â€” In this season of strange presents from relatives, Dorothy Ferreira got a doozy the other day from her 82-year-old sister in Waterloo, Iowa. It was ugly. It weighed four pounds. There was no receipt in the box.

'Heirloom Whale Barf'?

Inside she found what looked like a gnarled, funky candle but could actually be a huge hunk of petrified whale vomit worth as much as $18,000.

â€œI called my sister and asked her, â€˜What the heck did you send me?â€™ â€

I don't get it. Why would anyone buy it when its too rare to use in perfume regularly, and when almost no one can identify it. Still interesting though.

tycoons will buy anything rare. They'll use that perfume along with their bald eagle breakfast, and polar bear rib while wearing their rare ruby crown.
