There is no real woolly rhino horn on the market

The "woolly rhino horn" on the market is real and fake, and it is best to have professionals to identify if you want to buy it.

1. Rhinoceros is a rare animal.

Rhino horn is a precious medicinal material, as early as 2,000 years ago, China included the rhinoceros in the rare treasures, Taoism in the Han Dynasty.

One of the eight treasures is the rhino horn. In the past ten years, the rhinoceros horn carving of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

The **soaring, every year and every season there are reports of refreshing the record of the rhino horn eagle, and at the same time, the new antique rhino horn eagle and the counterfeit rhino horn eagle have also come out of the cage, so that the market is flooded, blinding many kind collectors.

2. Rhino horn and rhino horn carving are rare and expensive, often tens of millions, so you must be aware of everything before you start. In fact, the characteristics of the rhino horn are more obvious, first of all, its shape: the shape of the rhino horn chassis is horseshoe-shaped, and the front and rear ends of the horn have a shallow longitudinal groove and a raised tendon called the "gutter".

Ground Gang". Therefore, the rhino horn carving shape between the Ming and Qing dynasties is more horseshoe-shaped cups, and the gutter is used as the mouth of the cup, and the ground gang is used as the handle of the cup. Secondly, the rhino horn has a texture, that is, a longitudinal straight silk pattern, just like the silk pattern of sugarcane, and there is a little corn grain on its transverse section, and the cross-section pattern of the bamboo node.

Third, the rhino horn has a fishy smell, although the Ming and Qing rhino horn carvings have a history of three to five hundred years, the fishy smell on its skin has volatilized, but then the horn carvings can still smell a fragrance similar to sesame oil (fishy smell) when rubbing on the fur, and these three must be integrated and organically linked when identifying and distinguishing rhino horns.

3. The rhino horn carving is divided into old and new, and the rhino horn is also different from the Asian rhino horn and the African rhino horn, and in terms of medicinal value, it is recorded that the Asian rhino horn is 20 times that of the African rhino horn. The African rhinoceros has two horns, the horns are large, the largest length can reach 80 to 90 centimeters, the quality of the stem, easy to crack, translucent, the Asian rhinoceros only has one horn, the horn is small, the largest Indian rhinoceros has only 30 centimeters, and the smallest Indonesian Sumatra rhino, the horn is only 10 to 20 centimeters, fine and waxy. A large number of African rhino horns entered the Chinese market after the middle of the Qing Dynasty, generally entered from Guangzhou, and processed locally, so the carving of African rhino horn is more extensive, and the horn material of modern imitation Ming and Qing rhino horn carvings is also African horn.

The imitation of the Buddha statue, horseshoe cup, nothing, and plaques, pendants, seals, etc.

4. In addition, we can also look at its carving lines, pulp, color and so on. The rhinoceros is a rare animal, and there are very few people who really know how to do it.

<> "Of course there's a real look, see how I am."

In 2016, Northeast Customs seized a large number of smuggled woolly rhino products. This proves for sure: the woolly rhinoceros is real!

The woolly rhino horns I bought in the first few days were all resin processed, I bought them from Weipaitang, and friends who want to buy woolly rhino horns should not be naïve, think about whether the woolly rhino horns can be sold to you so cheaply.

Wool x belongs to the fossil category, and mammoths are contemporary, can not be compared with African rhinoceros horn, because it is buried in the ground for too long like mammoth fangs, it must not be comparable to non-x in terms of medicinal value, it can only be used for ornamental purposes, and it is not as expensive as non-x on the market.

It's really too little! ** Not cheap either!! If the gram price is less than 100 or so, you don't have to think about it.

If you can buy it for a few dollars or dozens of dollars, is it still precious?

1. The efficacy is different

Rhino horn is a precious medicinal material, it has a cold taste, bitter and sour, and has the effects of cooling blood, clearing heat and detoxifying. It is also a must-have treasure in the ancient cornucopia of our country, so the handicrafts carved with rhino horn (according to the original shape of the horn, mostly made into "cup" shaped drinking utensils), have a very long history in our country.

However, due to the geological burial time, the woolly rhino horn has no medicinal properties and belongs to fossil products.

2. The legitimacy is different.

From a legal point of view, the trade in woolly rhino horn is legal and unregulated; In 1973, the white rhinoceros and three Asian rhinos were listed in the International Convention on Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. At the same time, in 1993, a ban was issued on the use of rhino horn.

Although there is no official definition of the legality of woolly rhino horns, there is no legal definition of the prohibition of trade, so there is a vacuum where it is neither legal (because it is not explicitly specified) nor illegal.

3. Different characteristics:

The modern rhinoceros horn caviar has a fine pattern, the hairy rhino horn caviar has a coarse pattern, and the overall characteristics are transparent, moist, shiny and black and honey-colored (milky white and yellow); The woolly rhino horn is denser, brown and brownish-red after polishing, and opaque.

There are differences between woolly rhino horns and rhino horns in the following ways:

1.Medicinal properties and destructive effects: rhino horn is a precious medicinal material, which has the functions of cooling blood, clearing heat and detoxifying, and is regarded as "the treasure of things and the treasure of the country" by the people of our country. The woolly rhino horn has lost its medicinal properties due to the geological burial time for a long time, and belongs to the fossil product.

2.Legality: From a legal point of view, the trade in woolly rhino horn is legal and unregulated.

However, rhino horn (sub-rhino horn and non-rhino horn) is a prohibited product, and in 1973 the white rhinoceros and three species of Asian rhinoceros were listed in the International Convention on Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.

3.Finished products of modern rhino horn range from 400 to 1500 yuan. The finished product of woolly rhino horn is about 280 yuan a gram, and the finished product of poor quality is even only more than 100 yuan.

In summary, the main difference between woolly rhino horn and rhino horn is their medicinal properties, efficacy, legality and **.

At present, the finished product is about 280 yuan a gram, and the poor finished product is more than 100 yuan.

Biologically speaking, the woolly rhinoceros is in the same family as the Sumatran rhinoceros in the Asian rhinoceros horn, and the medicinal effect is stronger. In addition to being relatively old, it has been buried in the soil for a long time, which has caused the woolly rhinoceros itself to be petrified and the medicinal effect to disappear; The woolly rhinoceros buried in the glaciers has been preserved due to the ultra-low temperature, and the medicinal properties are extremely strong.

Its powder can be used as a precious medicinal primer, which is very scarce and precious. In addition to the application of traditional Chinese medicine, it is also reflected in the wide application of cultural toys in the later period. The collection value of the woolly rhinoceros horn is very large, and the finished product of the woolly rhinoceros belongs to the ancestor of the Asian rhinoceros horn, so the caviar bamboo silk pattern of the woolly rhinoceros horn is very similar to the Asian rhinoceros, and the Asian rhino gram price on the stove of the city is 3000 to 5000, and there is no stock yet.

Methods for identifying woolly rhino horns:

As the only legal rhinoceros horn in Fengxiao country, the woolly rhinoceros has a pure texture and a scarce quantity, thus highlighting its absolute status. You must master the knowledge points of dressing up and discerning the woolly rhinoceros to avoid buying fakes. Modern rhinoceros caviar has a finer pattern, and the hairy rhinoceros caviar pattern is thicker.

The overall feeling of modern rhino horn is more transparent and shiny, because it has been polished and conforms to the intuitive aesthetics of the human body, while the woolly rhino horn is denser and not easy to penetrate. <>
