A "One in a billion" flawless round egg could sell for thousands of dollars
A perfectly round "one-in-a-billion egg," which is very uncommon and
might be worth thousands of dollars, was found at a Melbourne
supermarket.
There are many things whose high value is understandable, like an
automobile, whose technical intricacy seems almost miraculous, or a
painstakingly made piece of art that demonstrates extraordinary expertise.
Alternately, an item's extraordinary rarity may account for its high
cost.
Some items, though, seem to fetch astronomical prices in dubious ways.
One such object is an egg that, by an accident of chance, takes on a fully
spherical shape rather than the more typical oval one. It is undoubtedly
fascinating and generates the response "Huh, cool." However, spending
hundreds or even thousands of dollars to own such an egg can be viewed as
an ostentatious display of money.
The issue of what one would really do with it emerges in the real world.
Why would it spoil? However, there seems to be a market for eggs in
strange forms, which is always surprising us!
The non-ovoid egg was discovered by newsreader Jacqueline Felgate, who
said, "I thought I'd share this eggcellent find. We discovered a spherical
egg in our egg carton, and after a short Google search, we learned that
this is a one-in-a-billion event. The latest egg recovered was sold for
nearly $1,400, and just one in a billion eggs are actually round.

It is feasible to preserve eggs, or more precisely, their shells, despite
the fact that many people may be unsure about the practical use for such
an egg. For the purpose of preserving wild bird eggs, museums frequently
adopt this preservation procedure. Larger eggs can be blown out by poking
tiny holes at either end and delicately extracting the yolk by gently
scrambling it. However, smaller eggs don't require any further preparation
to spontaneously dry out in an atmosphere that is adequately dry.
Eggs from the extinct Elephant Bird are some of the most expensive in the
world. These eggs, which have a lifespan of up to 800 years and are 200
times larger than chicken eggs, are very huge. That would provide a really
substantial omelette.
The Elephant Bird was a native of Madagascar and is said to have stood
roughly 10 feet tall and weighed more than 440 kilogrammes until it was
hunted to extinction about 400 years ago. A healthy Elephant Bird egg
fetched £66,675 at Christie's auction house in 2013.
Dinosaur eggs, on the other hand, can sell for up to £1,600 for a really
rare specimen.
Unbelievable money for such amazing discoveries!
