What is the difference between beeswax and amber?
What is the relationship between beeswax and amber? Are they the same? The relationship between them is often confusing. Here is a little knowledge of amber and beeswax for everyone. After reading it, you will understand.
A type of beeswax, amber, which is opaque or semi-opaque, is called beeswax, fossilized fossils, amorphous, with no fixed internal atomic structure and external shape, and often has a shell-like fracture. The refractive index ranges from 1.54 to 1.55, and birefringence does not apply. Physically, the proportion of beeswax is between 1.05 and 1.10, which is only slightly larger than water and is a precious ornament.
Wax is more expensive than amber, is it expensive?
This cognition can be said to be wrong. The formation of beeswax and amber is very similar. However, the price basis is not the same, so there is no one who is more expensive than others, especially the boutique. There is basically no specific price. The obvious is Dominica. The sky is blue, who can say that he is cheaper than beeswax?
So is amber beeswax the same?
In China, for the sake of convenience, amber is divided into two major categories, namely beeswax and amber, according to transparency. Transparent amber is called amber, translucent and opaque amber is often called beeswax. In fact, amber beeswax is a thing, because in foreign countries, they are called amber.
How do you distinguish between amber and beeswax?
The beeswax is opaque and the general amber is transparent. Beeswax is opaque, looks like honey, and has a waxy luster texture, so it is called "beeswax." The common colors are only yellow and brown. There are very few colored beeswax. If there is a price, it must be tens of thousands. Ordinary amber is transparent.
The price of beeswax is higher than the average amber. Since beeswax has only been sought after in recent decades, unlike other amber, it has been on fire for many years, and the formation of beeswax is more than ordinary amber, so the amount of beeswax is relatively small, so that it is rare. In principle, beeswax is much more expensive than ordinary amber. However, when encountering rare amber, such as the rare blood, the Dominican, and the willow, the average price of the beeswax will be lower.
Beware of "Boneper" posing as a beeswax. Nowadays, many merchants pretend to be beeswax at low prices, which have a lot of internal impurities and white and white. The amber is very low-grade, and it will gradually become transparent when worn for a long time, while beeswax After wearing for a long time, the gloss becomes brighter and brighter, the internal structure does not change, and the outer layer gradually produces a patina.
Embankment foreign beeswax. Some merchants sell some yellow amber with white silk under the banner of "Belgian beeswax" and "Baltic honey beeswax". They deceive customers to say that they are beeswax, and others use pressed beeswax and boiled honey. The wax pretends to be a natural beeswax. The domestic beeswax is mainly produced in Fushun, China. It feels slightly harder than ordinary amber, with bright yellow color and silk inside. This still requires a strong identification knowledge.
