I'm pretty sure that ambergris will not dissolve in aqueous HCl.

Wikipedia says most of its components are not sensitive to acid. So probably whatever color it was before dissolved.
Also, what century is this?? Did you actually get your hands on real ambergris?

In Inet exist Ambergris for sale. and can be dissolved with alcohol, rose water... in some country is ilegal to sell it but in the next country legal
(idiots).
you can buy pieces of 5gr from 55€ but mine come from a beach near home... well not real A. because no scent, one hot needle not penetrate it...
I recovered a piece like this but more grey... Every year in the coast of Catalonia come some big wales...

Gris means Grey. Grey Amber.
Thank you for posting. I hadn't thought of Ambergris in years.
