Ambergris,
also called Ambre gris or Grey Amber is a substance, formed in
the stomach or intestine of the cachalot or spermwhale. It is
conceivable that ambergris is the result of a pathological condition
caused by irritation of the whale's stomach due to certain indigestible
particles in the whale's food. It is one of the few natural perfumery
raw material which cannot be cultivated. Ambergris is a
pale greyish or creamy yellow to brown or dark brown waxy solid
mass. On ageing, the ambergris lightens in colour, particularly
when exposed to daylight and salt water. Consequently, you have
different grades of ambergris.

DEFINITION
of AMBERGRIS by WIKIPEDIA: Ambergris
(Ambra grisea, Ambre gris, ambergrease, or grey amber) is a solid,
waxy, flammable substance of a dull grey or blackish color, with
the shades being variegated like marble. It possesses a peculiar
sweet, earthy odor similar to isopropyl alcohol. Now largely replaced
by synthetics, it is occasionally still used as a fixative in
perfumery.
Ambergris
was also molded, dried, decorated and worn as jewellery, particularly
during the Renaissance. It was often formed into beads.
