Rare, precious, smells like whale: hunting for ambergris in New Zealand
On wild beaches, secretive harvesters seek the coveted whale byproduct that can make a fortune in an instant.
Ambergris, a form of whale dung, exceedingly rare and valuable, sought after by perfumers and gathered by secretive harvesters among the flotsam of New Zealand’s stormy coastlines.
When mature, ambergris is valued by perfumers for its properties as a fixative, as well as its own fragrance, which can range from deep, faecal animal musk, to a sweeter dark caramel, or light and powdery in the higher grades.
Higher-quality ambergris is worth more than $27 a gram. Because it can occur in huge chunks, fishers have over the years reported finds worth as much as £1.5m. The money at stake can make the hunt for ambergris fraught and occasionally dangerous.
The coastline has also been the site of bitter conflicts between hunters.

Rare, precious, smells like whale: hunting for ambergris in New Zealand
On wild beaches, secretive harvesters seek the coveted whale byproduct that can make a fortune in an instant.
Ambergris, a form of whale dung, exceedingly rare and valuable, sought after by perfumers and gathered by secretive harvesters among the flotsam of New Zealand’s stormy coastlines.
When mature, ambergris is valued by perfumers for its properties as a fixative, as well as its own fragrance, which can range from deep, faecal animal musk, to a sweeter dark caramel, or light and powdery in the higher grades.
Higher-quality ambergris is worth more than $27 a gram. Because it can occur in huge chunks, fishers have over the years reported finds worth as much as £1.5m. The money at stake can make the hunt for ambergris fraught and occasionally dangerous.
The coastline has also been the site of bitter conflicts between hunters.
