Shame it doesn't smell at all, it looked like nice aged ambergris to me. You would've been able to buy a nice new bike if it was.

Can you get a decent in focus shot of it?

I thought it was illegal to sell ambergris as the sperm whale is a protected species?

It looks like a mudstone which is a fine grained sandstone and a sedimentary rock. You get concretions which can have a similar sort of shape to that.

That's my best Internet guess without actually laying hands on the rock itself.

I'd try heating a small crumb of it.

Mudstone etc won't melt in boiling water, ambergris will.

[TheManWithThe...]

1. Heat a needle and touch briefly to the surface of the item

2. If ambergris, the surface will melt instantly; turning to an oily, molten black residue and a small puff of musky smelling smoke will be emitted.

That's my ambergris. I dropped it on the beach yesterday while taking it for a walk. Top bloke for finding it for me.
