"Will beeswax and amber are they really awkward? Are they the same?"
Have you ever had such a question, or have friends around you who have raised such doubts. When it comes to amber wax, the relationship between them is often confusing.
amber
Amber is a natural resin fossil that has been secreted from the coniferous trees of 40 million to 60 million years ago and has been deeply buried in the earth through the change of the earth's crust. If divided by transparency, you can divide amber into: transparent amber and opaque amber.
The transparency of amber is related to the succinic acid content, and has nothing to do with the age: 4% or less is transparent; 4 to 8% is cloud-like translucent; 8% or more is foamy and opaque.
Beeswax
Amber beeswax, which looks like honey, has a waxy luster and texture. It is traditionally called "beeswax", which means that beeswax is a kind of amber. Its fractures are often shell-like, with refractive indices ranging from 1.54 to 1.55, and birefringence is not applicable. Physically, the proportion of beeswax is between 1.05 and 1.10, which is only slightly larger than water and is a precious ornament.
The difference between amber and beeswax:
1
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?
2
So is amber the same as beeswax?
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. The difference in transparency between the two is due to the fact that the beeswax contains more succinic acid.

How do you distinguish between amber and beeswax?
1. 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.
2. The price of beeswax is much higher than the average amber.
The price of beeswax jewelry is generally 2--4 times the price of amber jewelry. In recent years, the price gap between the two is even greater. Merchants selling beeswax often use "millennium amber, 10,000 years of beeswax" to mislead the promotion of beeswax products. Many merchants have created a lot of historical events and stories to render beeswax. In fact, as long as we look at historical documents, we will find that there is no basis, just a popular pseudo-cultural marketing method.
However, natural beeswax is still very rare, and it is much less than the storage of amber. So if the 10mm amber bracelet is about 1000, and the beeswax bracelet is about 2000, so the beeswax is basically more expensive than the amber. high.
3. Look at the gem certificate.
Generally, precious gemstones now have a gemstone certificate, and clearly indicate the material of the jewelry and other notes. Ask your boss when you buy. It is necessary to find a formal appraisal agency.
Wax value
The name of beeswax was formed in the history of our country. Because of the official support of Tibetan Buddhism in the Qing Dynasty, as one of the seven treasures of Tibetan Buddhism, beeswax was added with special meanings to become worth more. The art and daily necessities made by amber and beeswax in the Ming and Qing Dynasties have the value of cultural relics today, and the value cannot be measured by money.
hint:
Wax is an organic fossil. It should be kept away from cosmetics and not exposed to strong light.
Take off the beeswax jewelry when bathing or washing your hands.
The good amber judgment criteria are:
1. Less internal impurities;
2, good light transmission;
3, uniform color, good oiliness.
This is the basic three aspects, but insects and plants are not suitable. The quality of insects and plants depends on the rarity of the inner wrap and the size of the wrap. The rarer the wrap, the larger the individual. The more such amber is precious.
The last thing to remind everyone is that the identification can't be on paper. It's not just the above paragraphs that will let you master everything. The quickest and most practical way is to get in touch with the real thing, get started, observe, and pay attention to see the real natural. What is the difference between amber beeswax and counterfeit materials, which is faster than anything else!
