London: Perfectly spherical egg: An egg has been sold in an auction for 200 pounds (about 21,000 rupees). This is an unusual egg, which challenges the normal oval shape. This egg has been called one in a billion because its shape is perfectly spherical. It is considered extremely rare to find such an egg. This egg has been bought by Ed Powell, a resident of Lambourn, Berkshire. This egg was auctioned on 11 December this month.

A woman found this unique egg in a supermarket in a Scottish city. She donated it to charity and now this egg has been auctioned.

Why are round eggs rare?

It is strange to call an egg oval. But most eggs are oval. Less thin from the top, more spread out from the bottom. But this egg is special. It is completely round. Let us tell you that this round egg is not very nutritious. It is special only because of its shape.

Auction for charity

This rare spherical egg sold for charity in the UK was donated to the Iuventas Foundation to raise mental health funds. Foundation representative Rose Rapp told the BBC: “We are thrilled with the result. With the money raised, we will be able to help children aged 13-25 struggling with mental health and help those stuck on long waiting lists. Apart from this egg, there were other items worth about 5000 pounds i.e. Rs 5,39,369 in the auction event.

What did the egg buyers say?

Powell, who bought the egg, was asked if he regretted his purchase, he did not express any regrets. He said. It was a lot of fun. I think this money has been well spent. Earlier in the year 2023, a round egg was sold in Australia for Rs 78 thousand.
