How to identify gold and blue amber, and how to distinguish the real from the fake

Myanmar is a world-famous amber producing area, naturally there are many varieties of amber in Myanmar, and among the many Burmese amber, there is a relatively rare variety, that is, Burmese golden blue amber. Myanmar golden amber has been loved by many people with its unique charm, so do you know how to identify Burmese golden amber?

In fact, the golden blue amber of Myanmar is also a kind of mineral amber, and its hardness is higher than that of the Amber of the Baltic Sea, about 3. So if we rub these two types of amber against each other, we will find that the surface of the Baltic amber will show scratch marks, while the Burmese golden blue amber will be intact.

In fact, the color of Burmese golden blue amber is very colorful, when we observe Burmese golden blue amber in natural light, we will see golden yellow; But when we change to a black background, we look at it again in natural light, and what we see is blue light; When we use a violet lamp to illuminate it, it emits a deep blue light. In addition, there may be many people who think that Burmese gold and blue amber has no fragrance, in fact, Burmese golden blue amber is fragrant, and when we break the hole in Burmese gold and blue, we will ask for a faint pine fragrance.

The blue hair under the white light is Jinlan's, and no one takes Duomi Lanpo to pretend to be Jinlan's, just look at it under the white light.

Let's see what others have to say.

1. Experiment:

Natural amber is so light that it will sink to the bottom when you put it (without any inlays) into the water. Then add the dissolved concentrated brine to it, and when the concentration of salt is greater than 1 to 4 (1 part salt, 4 parts water), the real amber will slowly float, while the fake amber will not float.

2. Sound: Uninlaid amber chains or beads will make a very soft and slightly dull sound when gently rubbed in the hand. If the plastic or resin is made of plastic, the sound will be crisper.

3. Incense: Amber has only a very faint smell that is almost inaudible when rubbed, or it is simply not smellable. Amber that produces a fragrance by rubbing it is called "champber". In general, amber only gives off a pine fragrance when burned.

4. Eye observation:

This is a trick to distinguish real amber from fake; The texture, color depth, transparency, refractive index, etc. of real amber will change depending on the viewing angle and illumination. Amber is transparent but warm, not as transparent as glass, crystal, and diamonds. Fake amber is either very transparent or opaque, and the color is dead and fake.

The artificial production of fake amber inside is very dazzling, and it will feel like a lifeless cold light.

1. In fact, Myanmar's golden amber belongs to mineral amber, the hardness of Burmese amber is higher than that of Baltic amber, the hardness of Burmese golden amber is 3, the hardness of Baltic amber is, Myanmar's golden amber and Baltic amber rub against each other, the surface of Baltic amber will have scratches, and Burmese golden amber does not, in fact, the color of Burmese golden amber is more abundant, Burmese golden amber is golden yellow in natural light, and there will be blue light in the natural light of the black background, illuminated with purple light, It emits a deep blue light.

2. Again, ask about the fragrance, many friends of Burmese golden blue amber say that there is no fragrance, in fact, Burmese golden blue amber is fragrant, rubbing back and forth with your hands is almost impossible to smell the pine fragrance, but Burmese golden blue amber is fragrant when punching, its fragrance is different from the Baltic pine fragrance, Burmese golden blue amber is a leguminous plant, the tree species are different, the fragrance is not the same, the identification of Burmese golden blue amber can be distinguished from hardness, color, and fragrance.

The method of identifying the real from the fake is as follows:

1. Look: The color of natural blue amber is pale yellow or brownish yellow, and the refraction is very good, and it looks very smart. The color of the false blue amber is green, and it looks very dead gray with no sense of transparency.

Therefore, the contrast effect of real and fake blue amber together is very obvious, and the difference can be seen at once.

2. Black cloth: On the black base cloth, the natural blue pearl has very strong permeability and refractive properties. If you look at the effect of the fake blue amber, there is no sense of transparency, no sense of refraction, and it feels very dead ash.

3. Borrowing purple lamp: natural blue amber will have a blue fluorescence effect under the irradiation of purple lamp, which is one of the reasons why it is called blue amber. Natural blue amber only has a blue fluorescence effect when it comes into contact with the violet light line.

Lanpo introduced

Blue amber refers to the golden and brown amber produced in the Dominican Republic, and the light is refracted to show blue amber. The blue refraction of blue amber refers to the blue refraction that grows in amber under natural light and non-specific light sources. Amber refractive colors from Dominica are not limited to blue, but also include green, lake blue, sky blue, dark blue, and purple.

The most common and most serious phenomenon on the market is the use of Burmese golden blue amber to pass off as Dominican blue amber, and the inexperienced need to be very cautious. The difference between the two is very large, and the easiest way to distinguish is to use a violet lamp to see the difference in fluorescence reaction, and use a violet lamp 365nm. In addition, there are cases where copal grease coating is used to pass off as blue amber, so you need to be cautious when purchasing.

1) Look at the blue light du of the bai inside the blue amber. Fake blue amber usually has a blue light on the inside.

Zhi, this kind.

The blue light of the dao is very evenly distributed, and almost the inside is filled with blue power. However, the blue color inside the natural blue amber is usually uneven, and it is the presence of small patches, and the blue light will disappear or appear as the light changes. 2) Look at fluorescence.

Natural blue amber has a very strong blue fluorescence, which will cover all parts of the body when illuminated by violet light. Counterfeit blue amber does not fluoresce blue or has a weak fluorescence reaction. 3) On the whole, the body color of blue amber is pale yellow, and the surface of the light is blue, this blue is more obvious under sunlight or bright white light, and the blue color will move flexibly with the change of the angle of light.

4) The high-quality blue amber (sky blue) is pale yellow and pure under the natural light on a white background, and a slight blue reaction is felt by the naked eye when the angle changes, a strong sky blue will appear in the dark background and natural light, and a very strong blue fluorescence will appear under the violet light (Note: There is a detailed identification method on the "Domino Blue Amber Encyclopedia").

White background: similar to regular gember in natural or white light; The underlying blue color of blue amber is more intense under violet light; Black Background: Natural Light Blue amber will appear blue under white light, while other amber does not have this color.

The picture below shows the blue amber color under white light, natural light, and violet light. Due to the special color of blue amber, blue amber can be recognized by beginner players if it is in the hand. At present, there are many online sellers, and you also need to keep your eyes open for **, as far as personal experience is concerned, one is the ** itself color cast, which can be judged by the color of the surrounding materials, if the surrounding color is blue, it means that there may be ps or the light is blue; The second is the difference caused by the color temperature of the light, different color temperatures show different blue, I have tried to use the mobile phone flash to shoot out the sky blue, and the LED white photonic is blue and green, under natural light in between, generally subject to natural light.

In addition, in addition to the color, the value of blue amber also has the difference in processing, transparency, and content, so the value cannot be judged by color alone. A good piece of Dominican blue amber material, whether it is a bead, a nude material or an engraving. The body is clean and free of impurities, the white background is transparent to see the egg white color, and if you get started, you can see a faint purple and blue hidden color, and the light under the black background is strong, and it will be blue and blue.

This is the standard of a good blue amber. If you look down at the color level, the amount of impurities contained is a criterion, and the fewer impurities, the better. Plants and animals are not impurities, and if they are, they are even more expensive.

White background or through the light, the color is not egg white color, the darker the color, the more biased to brown, the blueness will decrease, and it may even be blue-green amber, this only needs to be observed under the strong light on the black background to verify the comparison, sometimes if the mineral skin layer is not polished clean, the oxidized part is generally green, which will also affect the color of the material itself. In addition, through the light observation, the general bias of brown multi-meter blue amber will have light green hidden color flow lines, which is also one of the factors that cause blue amber is not blue enough.

Summary. Hello The following is the identification method of blue amber:1

Observe the color: True blue amber is bright and transparent, and will show a special blue luster in the light. 2.

Weight: Blue amber is lightweight and feels lighter than materials such as glass or plastic. 3.

Temperature: True blue amber feels warm to the touch, imitations made of plastic or glass will feel cold. 4.

Observe inclusions: True blue amber may contain fossils of ancient insects, plants, etc. 5.

Triboelectric test: Rub the blue amber on the cloth and if it attracts the paper, it may be true. 6.

Hot needle test: Lightly brand a hot needle on the surface of blue amber, if the smoke has a pine flavor, it is a real blue amber. I hope this answer is helpful to you, and if you have more questions, you are welcome to ask me at any time.

Have a great day

You need to observe the real thing, and you can't distinguish the real from the fake only according to **.

392 starts, isn't it a little too cheap.

**It is indeed relatively cheap, but if you want to identify it, you need to identify it according to the real thing.

Is it necessarily false that there is no blue light in the sun?

Real blue amber will definitely have a special blue light under the sun, if not, it is fake.

Is this true, the violet lamp should be purple or ultraviolet.

Violet lamps refer to lamps that emit purple light, not ultraviolet lamps.

Purple light can also be identified, right?

Even if it is a lamp that emits purple light, purple light can also be used.

Dear, glad to answer for you! The main ways to identify blue amber are as follows. 1.

Appearance: Blue amber usually has a dark blue or emerald green appearance. Blue amber is usually more precious, while green amber is rarer.

In addition, blue amber usually has an irregular shape, and sometimes there are some natural inclusions (such as insects, plants, etc.) that are trapped in it. 2.Density determination:

The density of blue amber is usually in between, because of the wide sedan it contains a certain amount of voids and bubbles. The density of the blue amber can be measured by using a density analyzer, so as to distinguish the real from the fake. 3.

Infrared spectroscopy: Blue Amber has a unique absorption peak in the infrared spectrum, which can be analyzed by an infrared spectrometer. This method is very effective in differentiating blue amber from other resins or synthetic materials.

4.Screening reagents: Reacting blue amber with some specific chemical reagents can distinguish the real from the fake.

For example, soaking blue amber in an alkaline solution will not discolor real blue amber, while synthetic materials or fake blue amber will change color. 5.Thermal conductivity determination:

True blue amber has special properties in terms of thermal conductivity. A thermal conductivity analyzer can be used to measure the thermal conductivity of blue amber to distinguish between authenticity and authenticity. Please note that the above methods are commonly used to identify the authenticity of blue amber, but they are not infallible.
