Is there any good way to identify beeswax? Who can tell me more about it?

In the actual collection appreciation, the player summed up the identification method of 12, so that you can clearly distinguish the authenticity:

1, salt water test method: the density of amber is between 1.05- 1. 10. In 1: 4 (salt: water) saturated brine, amber, light plastic and resin can float, while ordinary plastic, glass, acrylic and bakelite can sink. Friendly reminder: this method is limited to naked amber. Amber with a lot of impurities in its body will sink if the salt water concentration is not heavy enough.

2, thermal measurement: the needle burns in an inconspicuous place of amber, with a faint pine fragrance. Bakelite and plastic smell pungent and stick to needles. Friendly reminder: Too hot will leave black spots on the amber surface, which will affect the appearance.

3, knife cutting needle pick test: paper knife cutting amber will become powder, resin will fall off in pieces, plastic will become coils, glass can not be cut. When you flush amber with a hard needle at an angle of 20-30 degrees from the horizontal line, you will feel explosive and there will be extremely fine powder residue. If it is plastic or other substances with different hardness, it will not stick, or it will feel sticky, or even stick in. Friendly reminder: this experiment will damage your jewelry. If you pick out the cut part, you can only find a professional to repair it. It is best not to do it or do it less, so as not to cause harm to amber.

4, nail polish lotion: repeatedly wipe the amber surface with a cotton swab, no obvious change. Plastics, pressure and amber have not changed, but resin and Coba butter will be corroded because they are not petrified, resulting in sticking pits. Rosin will melt slowly when it is soaked in liquid medicine. Friendly reminder: some amber has a layer of polishing substance, which will turn into white spots when wiped with drugs, but this layer of white spots can be scraped off with nail shells to expose the surface of amber, and there will be no change when rubbed with drugs. The liquid medicine still has 18%-20% solubility in amber, and the surface may become foggy after soaking for a long time)

5, feel: amber is a neutral organic gem, not very hot in summer, not too cold in winter, very gentle. Use glass or chalcedony to prevent feeling cold and heavy.

6. Eye scales: This is the most important method to identify inlaid amber. Amber usually has beautiful scales of lotus leaves, which have different feelings from different angles, have different refraction and emit spiritual light. The transparency of fake amber is generally not high, and the scales emit dead light, which is similar from different angles and lacks the aura of amber. The scales and patterns in fake amber are mostly injection molded, so most of them are the same. The most common one on the market is the red scale.

7. Observe bubbles: The bubbles in amber are mostly round, and the bubbles in pressed amber are mostly long and flat.

8, ultraviolet irradiation: put amber under the money detector, it will have fluorescence, light green, green, blue, white and so on. Amber and Jin Po have the most obvious discoloration, while blood amber and beeswax have no obvious discoloration. The more transparent it is, the more obvious it is, and the plastic will not change color. Friendly reminder: don't test under strong light or the effect will not be obvious.

9. Aroma: Amber has only a faint smell, and it can hardly be smelled when rubbed, or it can't be smelled at all, but amber with skin will produce fragrance when rubbed, and Xiangpo will produce fragrance when rubbed. Amber only gives off a loose fragrance when it burns. Friendly reminder: there is no rubbing smell on the stall, so it is better to just watch and not buy.

10, sound test: Amber beads without inlay will make a very soft and slightly dull sound when rubbed gently in your hand. If the sound is plastic or resin, it will be crisp.

1 1, friction with static electricity: amber can attract small pieces of paper after rubbing on clothes. (Friendly reminder: except copy paper)

12, spend money for identification: take it to CMA Jewelry Identification Center to measure refractive index, density, etc.
