Common amber imitation
Commonly used are plastic replicas, natural resin replicas, and replicas made from amber pieces.
1, plastic imitation
The Middle East does not produce amber, and the Middle East honey is all imitations, not really amber. Amber fraud has been around for a long time. Hundreds of years ago, some fake merchants in Germany, Poland, Russia and other countries created a lot of fake honey wax (the method of production has now been lost), sold to the Middle East, these fakes Many have been preserved by the Middle East. Hundreds of years later, this product was sold back to the amber distribution center of the Baltic Sea as an “old honey wax†and sold to all parts of the world. This is the so-called "Middle East honey wax". The Middle East honey wax has no relationship with amber and honey wax. It is a copy. But the Middle East wax has a history of hundreds of years. It is a fake made by the ancients and has certain cultural significance. Just like the Xuande furnace of the Ming Dynasty, which was copied in the Qing Dynasty, it has become a cultural relic.
In addition, African honey wax, gold silk beeswax, blue fairy wax, Tibetan beeswax, silk wax, tiger wax, ice crack beeswax, Afghan wax, Pakistani wax, Nepalese wax, etc. are all artificial Plastic imitation.
The natural amber smell is very special – when rubbed, heated or burned, it gives off a pleasant resiny taste that helps identify amber. In addition, under the violet light, the surface of amber and beeswax has a layer of fluorescence from the inside to the outside, and the plastic imitation does not change color; in saturated brine, really amber and beeswax will float; amber and beeswax jewelry It doesn't feel hot when worn in summer, and it doesn't feel cold when worn in winter; amber and beeswax can pick up small pieces of paper after rubbing on clothes.
2, natural resin replica
Coba resin is formed in the period of several million to twenty million years. In fact, it is an amber semi-finished product with insufficient years. Coba resin also floats in saturated brine and also has a fluorescent reaction under violet light, so since the last century, people have started to use a coba resin to imitate amber. Contains adhesions. Coba resin will slag down when sanding, polishing is difficult to become bright, and there is adhesion on the polishing cloth. Wiping with alcohol will also feel sticky. The bug is big. The insects that are faked by Coba resin have a lot of insects or extra large.
3, amber pieces pressed products
Pressed amber is the most common amber in the market, also known as second-generation amber, amber, and amber. Simply put, a lot of amber pieces, powder, etc. are heated to melt, and then pressed to solidify into a large piece. The composition of pressed amber is the same as natural amber, and it is not easy to distinguish with violet light and infrared instruments. This imitation can identify the true and false of amber according to the four ways of filament, texture, fluorescence and color.
Identification according to the filament: pressed amber bloody and red spots inside the amber. It can be seen with the naked eye that there is a dark red silk in the pressed amber, like a capillary.
According to the texture recognition: due to the high pressure, the bubbles that have not burst in the pressed amber will form a long strip shape. Under the magnifying glass, the irregular pattern of the agitation state and the vortex state can be observed, and the color is more uniform and uniform.
According to the fluorescence recognition: under the violet light, the pressed amber is stronger than the natural amber, the pressed amber reacts to a bright blue fluorescence; the natural amber is a light blue white or a pale yellow fluorescent.
According to color recognition: the color of natural amber is usually red, brown, yellow, and the color of pressed amber is orange red or orange.
