    reasoning
    The source entity 'sperm whale product' is described as a substance that 'cools and crystallizes into lumps' but can be returned to a 'fluid state' by squeezing, and was 'historically valued as a cosmetic'. Candidate 2, 'spermaceti', is a 'biological_substance' described as 'perfectly fluid' in life and 'concretes upon exposure to air' after death. Spermaceti is famously used in cosmetics and is the primary 'product' from sperm whales that matches these physical properties and historical use. The labels and types are highly compatible, with 'sperm whale product' being a general term for spermaceti in this context.
