The strange object suspected to be a rare “pig sand” weighing about 300g is being preserved by Mr. Bien’s family. Mr. Bien said that the strange object suspected to be a “pig sand” is oval-shaped and covered with a layer of yellow fat. When the fat layer is torn off, there is a brown object surrounded by a lot of hair and has the aroma of traditional Chinese medicine.

His family has been slaughtering pigs for many years, but this is the first time they have discovered “pig sand”. He also added that this was a sow he had just bought a few days before.

In recent times, in Nghe An province, objects called 'rare pig sand' have been continuously discovered. There are many rumors about the value of this object, however, in reality, no farmer has been able to sell 'pig sand' as rumored.
