Thailand, Dec 17- Luck s sometimes we define as unexpected and for one poor fisherman in Thailand, it came in the form of lump of rocks.

The lump of rocks which he found by the beach were actually whale's vomit. The cost of it is about $3.2 million (RM12.94 million). 

The 60 year old fisherman named Naris Suwannasang, was strunggling to make a living. As he was walking by the beach in Nakhon Si Thammarat, he stumbbled upon a plae rock-like clumps that washed up on the beach. With the help of his cousin, he then took the clumps home to have a closer look. At that point, he realize it was Ambergris. Ambergris is also known as whale vomit which is an essential ingredient in some of the world's most expensive perfumes. Ambergris helps perfume scent last longer.

They then tested the ambergris by burning it with a lighter. It melted instantly and gave away a musky smell. Therefore, their theory was comfirmed.

According to Naris, a businessman told him that he would come to check the quality of the ambergris Naris would receive about 960,000 TBH (RM130,038.89) per kilogram if the ambergris is of the best grade.

Naris also made a police report just incase someone would steal them from his house.
