 i raelise this is amber, and not ambergris. i was fascinated by the fact that the amber turns almost transparent in the areas with light behind and from the scanner. thus amber-gris (grey in french). sometimes i outclever myself with my titles. lateral thinking needs to be somewhat understandable. i'll try to retitle to make sense, and not come across as simply ingnorant of the difference...

thanks, smardaz, for the defense, but it's ok. the work is out there, it's a valid comment. my titile is somehwat confusing as to whether i just don't know the difference. but, i need a suitably simple and restrained title to clear it up, and i don't have one yet, so, ambergris it will be for a while, until the imagination kicks in...

There's a difference between amber and ambergris. Ambergris is a very expensive perfume base which come from a whale's insides - in other words the whale excretes ambergris to coat irritating particles in its stomache and then at a later date ejects it. The ambergris is collected on beaches around the world. In its pure state, it is foul smelling but when diluted many, many times it forms the base for perfumes. As I say, it is extremely expensive. The necklace you have up there is amber: fossilized resin from a pine tree. Maybe you should re title the photo and then I can delete this comment ;-)


or maybe you could be a little less anal and chalk it up to artistic interpretation?
