Good morning,
I just started working in the research collections at the FAU Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute, and I've run into an interesting problem in our collection. I found a chunk of ambergris in a plastic box. I'm sure this isn't the correct storage for it, but I haven't found anything really online about how better to store it. It is currently in a propped open plastic box and hasn't been touched for at least 20 years.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a better setup?
Thanks in advance,
