What does lithified honey look like? A simple way to identify rock honey

Petrosified honey refers to honey that wild bees accumulate in the underground honeycomb for many years and lose most of their water to form lumps, and peel off the outer layer of soil to see honey that looks like a dark yellow stone.

1. First of all, we should pay attention to the silicification zone, quartz vein, and secondary quartzite. This is because of the gold mineralisation.

It is closely related to siliconization, and it can be said that no silicon cannot be gold. Of course, not all silicesomes produce gold, but most of the gold-bearing silicesomes are smoky gray and have a good water color. This is because the gold-bearing siliceous bodies contain more or less sulfides, which give the quartz a smoky gray color because the sulfides are extremely fine.

In particular, the flaking quartz veins (which can contain multiple black bands, such as a mixture of carbonaceous and fine-grained sulfides) have good gold content. Even for the gold-type quartz veins with few sulfides, there are often sulfides such as stibnite, bismuth, wheel ore, arsenite, caviarite, etc., when gold ore packages appear.

2. Pay attention to fault tectonic zones again, especially ductile shear zones. Gold mineralization is all related to faulting, and it can be said that gold cannot be formed without structure. In particular, it is necessary to pay attention to ultramylonite, mylonite, micro-granulated sugar-like quartzite, talc magnesite schist, which are often where gold-rich ore bodies are located.

Mega-to-large fault zones tend to be inherently poor in gold bearing, while secondary fault zones on the side tend to be the site of gold ore body production.

3. Thirdly, it is necessary to pay attention to the gold content of iron cap, maroon, brownish yellow residual slope deposits and carbonate dissolution trench dissolution groove deposits. Not only can they be iron-cap, laterite-type gold deposits themselves, but they can also indicate the search for primary gold deposits.

4. Fourth, we should pay attention to finding gold in antimony ore, mercury ore and arsenic ore (especially male yellow ore and orpiment) area, as far as antimony ore is concerned, it can coexist with gold to form antimony gold deposits; It can also be separated, but it is not far away, so there is a saying that "not in it, not leaving its trace". Gold can also be found in the periphery of some lead-zinc mines, such as the periphery of Qingchengzi lead-zinc mine; The lower part of the copper deposit. The alteration zone of copper-nickel sulphide deposits is also a good place to find gold.

5. In addition to silicification, the alteration related to gold mineralization also includes low-temperature alteration assemblages such as ferrodolomite, ferrocalcite, chromium muscovite, pyrite seriite, glacial feldspar, fine-grained pyrite mineralization, arsenic, antimony, mercury, bismuth and thallium mineralization.

6. Pay attention to the fracture and fracture zones and their tectonic alteration zones in mafic rocks, ultramafic rocks, porphyry, alkaline rocks, metaalkaline granitic rocks, carbon-silica argillaceous rocks, and impure carbonate rocks.

7. Carry out the work of river heavy sand, secondary halo of gully system and various geochemical exploration methods, and find gold with gold, which is the most important method of finding gold at present.

8. Find gold according to the indicator elements of gold finding, such as mercury, antimony, bismuth, arsenic, thallium, selenium, lead, zinc, copper, and silver.

9. Indirect search for gold deposits by geophysical prospecting methods to find out the fault structure and sulfide distribution law.

One: smell single nectar has the unique floral fragrance of this plant, potpourri honey has a natural floral flavor, fake honey has sucrose flavor, and some are spice flavor.

The picture above shows the authentic nectar and the production of authentic domestic bees).

Two: Eyesight. 1.

To see the concentration of the honey, take a chopstick and insert it into the honey and lift it vertically. The honey with high concentration flows slowly, the viscosity is large, and it can be drawn and shrunk into honey balls after breaking. Fake honey or honey with low concentration, on the other hand, can stretch the filament, but the broken filament is inelastic and will not shrink into honey beads.

2.A drop of honey can be taken and dropped on the newspaper, pure honey with high concentration is hemispherical and not easy to soak through the newspaper, and low concentration or fake honey is easy to soak through the newspaper.

3.Take a glass of water and add a little honey. Real honey will sink quickly to the bottom of the cup and will not melt easily, and when you stir it slowly with chopsticks, there will be a slight phenomenon. If it is fake honey, it will quickly dissolve into the water.

4.Looking at the crystallization, the crystallization of honey is related to the type and temperature of its plants, and generally pure natural honey is easy to crystallize at 13-14 degrees Celsius. Honey that can be fully crystallized generally has low moisture content, high concentration, and is not easy to deteriorate, so it is high-quality honey.

The crystalline pure honey is twisted by hand, and the feel is delicate and there is no grit feeling. Fake honey, not easy to crystallize, or precipitate partially, the sediment is hard, not easy to crush.

Three: taste Pure natural honey, sweet taste, slightly sour, soft and delicate taste, refreshing and soft, slightly spicy throat, fragrant aftertaste for a long time. The adulterated honey has a sweet taste, but it is mixed with sugar or spice flavors, and the throat is weak, and the aftertaste is light and short.

Four: chemical test The color of honey mixed with starch will turn blue when added to iodine solution, and the honey mixed with starch syrup will appear white flocculent after adding high concentration ethanol, and the honey mixed with other impurities will be inserted into the honey with a red-hot wire, and there will be sticky matter attached to the wire.

Refrigerated crystallization test: Honey becomes solid after being stored at 4 to 14 degrees Celsius for a period of time, which is a physical phenomenon of honey. The crystals of real honey are pricked with chopsticks, which is very soft, and fake honey cannot be pierced.

Real honey is pinched by hand, and its crystals dissolve quickly, while fake honey has the feeling of being awkward, and it dissolves slowly or does not dissolve. Real honey crystals bite with teeth with a low sound, while fake honey crystals are crisp and loud. After pouring out the honey and waiting for it to solidify slightly, if it is genuine, the honey will form a hexagonal structure like a honeycomb, but the fake one does not.

In short, to identify the authenticity of honey, there may be some errors in a single method, you can apply multiple methods to identify a honey at the same time, and under normal circumstances, you can determine the authenticity of honey.

1. The color of real honey does not look very bright, white, light yellow or amber, and light color is preferred; Fake honey is bright in color, generally light yellow or dark yellow. Real honey is viscous, provoked and visible flexible filaments, and flows continuously; Fake honey has suspended solids or precipitation, and when provoked, it falls in a drip-like manner, and there is a broken flow.

Second, smell the real honey has a faint floral fragrance of plant flavor; Fake honey smells pungent or fruity sugar.

3. Taste real honey is sweet and delicious, with a sticky and sticky mouth feeling and a slight sour taste, and the crystalline lump is crispy when biting, and it melts when it is contained; Fake honey has a bitter or chemical taste, and the crystalline lumps chew like granulated sugar, and the sound is crisp and loud.

Fourth, hot water dissolves: put honey into hot water to dissolve, and if there is no precipitation after standing for 3 or 4 hours, it is pure honey and good honey.

5. Drip the honey on the white paper, if the honey gradually seeps away, it means that there is sucrose and water. Honey mixed with sugar has poor transparency, is not clear, is cloudy, and has a poor floral aroma. The color of the honey mixed with brown sugar is dark; The honey mixed with sugar is pale in color.

The real rock honey is the crystalline honey with spleen, and its formation process is: after the bee abandons the nest, the residual honeycomb spleen in the nest can be formed through natural frost, suitable temperature, and natural air drying, so it is relatively rare.

In Yunnan, there are roughly two types of bees and four species: multi-spleen and single-spleen, and polyspleen has Chinese honeybee, which is a common breeding (burrowing) bee in rural areas; In addition, there is a relatively large body size, nesting on the tree bee, locally called "horse bee", this kind of bee will migrate according to the season, the change of nectar source, these two kinds of bees have more than 5 spleens, so we call it multi-spleen bees. Single-spleen honey bees have:

The nesting on the cliff is called the rock bee, the nesting on the small shrubs is called the small bee, the local people call it "fly bee" or "grass bee", the honey (sub) spleen of these two bees is a single spleen, the honey is connected to the rock (branch tree) at the junction of the nest spleen and the rock (branch tree), and the sub-spleen is connected with it. However, no matter what kind of bee honey, its color, character, and taste are roughly the same, it is possible to form rock honey, and the key points to distinguish its authenticity are: the shape is the same as the original honey with spleen, the waxy spleen is clearly distinguishable, the taste is fragrant, sweet and slightly sour, and the weight of each piece is only tens of grams to hundreds of grams.

Rock honey is very rare, and the street selling is generally fake, and there may be the following two consequences after eating: 1. If you eat even the wasp hive, because the beehive is poisonous, the poisoning symptoms are mild nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea; In severe cases, it can be life-threatening; 2. Because of the addition of excessive alkali, excessive consumption will damage your digestive tract.

The old Kaiyuan Mengzi Jianshui Jinping estuary Green Spring wild honey was purchased and sold.

Hello! What kind of disease do you need to treat for this kind of honey?
