A golf ball-sized lump found by a Dunedin woman on Aramoana Beach earlier this year will be examined at Otago Museum this week to confirm if it is ambergris.

Ambergris is a wax-like substance secreted in sperm whale intestines. It protects the whale's stomach from its abrasive diet of beaked squid. It has been used for centuries in expensive perfumes, as it traps aroma on the skin for long periods.

Its relative rarity also means it can attract hefty prices – more than $10,000 a kilogram. Read more here.
