Strange: Two aromatic stones offered 5 billion VND have not been sold
The two stones have different shapes and colors but both give off a perfume-like scent. The owner of the stones said they have been offered for up to 5 billion VND but he has not sold them yet.
For many days now, Mr. T.'s house in Pleiku City, Gia Lai Province has accidentally owned two objects as hard as rocks but giving off a very pleasant perfume-like scent.
One is a cylindrical, monolithic, pink-red stone weighing 0.6 kg. The other is silver-gray, weighing 0.9 kg, and was cut from a larger block of stone. Although the colors and shapes are different, both stones give off a fragrant smell. The silver-gray stone has a stronger fragrance.

Mr. T. said that two months ago, a resident of Pleiku City asked him to look at the feng shui of his house. Knowing that he liked to collect stones, the homeowner gave him a red stone. The homeowner lent him the other stone to display. Both stones now give off a fragrant smell. The homeowner said he bought them from a fisherman on the central coast.

When he brought them home, Mr. T. washed both stones in a basin of water and discovered that after washing, the water in the basin also had a fragrant smell from the stones. Finding it strange, Mr. T. searched online and found that the stones had many similarities to the rare "ambergris" secreted by sperm whales. This type is also known as the "agarwood" of the ocean.

"Knowing that I have two stones, a person in Ho Chi Minh City came to me and offered to find a buyer for 5 billion VND. However, I don't know if this is "ambergris" or just a normal stone with a scent, so I haven't accepted yet," said Mr. T.
According to many experts, to determine whether it is "ambergris" or not, it is necessary to see it directly and if necessary, it must be tested. If it is true, "ambergris" is the essence of sperm whales, has effects in medicine and in the high-class perfume industry, and is worth tens of billions of VND/kg.
