How to distinguish the authenticity of beeswax, how to distinguish the authenticity of beeswax?

To distinguish the authenticity of beeswax, you can first look at the texture, then smell the taste, and finally use a purple lamp. The raw ore beeswax can observe the natural flow lines and other textures, and can smell a faint pine fragrance after rubbing by hand, and will produce a fluorescent reaction under the irradiation of the violet lamp, while the artificial beeswax can form a spiral, brushed pattern, without fluorescence reaction.

1. Beeswax pattern.

First of all, you can look at the texture of the beeswax, whether the surface of amber or beeswax is more or less textured, the raw ore beeswax can be observed natural flowing lines, moire and other textures, the most common is the flowing lines, and the artificial imitation of beeswax due to artificial stirring, can form a spiral, drawn texture.

2. Beeswax smell.

Secondly, you can smell the smell of beeswax, although not all beeswax can smell a faint pine fragrance after rubbing it, but most beeswax can do this, such as the Baltic Sea beeswax, which is formed in the resin of ancient pine and cypress coniferous vegetation, so there will definitely be a pine fragrance, but with the passage of time, the pine fragrance will slowly fade.

3. Fluorescence reaction.

Finally, it can be identified with the help of violet lamp, under the irradiation of violet lamp, natural beeswax will produce fluorescence reaction, and the color and intensity of fluorescence will be different according to different varieties. If there is no fluorescence reaction after being irradiated by the violet lamp, there is no doubt that it is an artificial imitation of beeswax.

Here's how to distinguish between real and fake beeswax:

1. Experimental detection method: natural amber is very light, and it will sink to the bottom when it is put into the water (without any inlays). Then the dissolved concentrated brine is added to it, and when the concentration of salt is greater than one to four (one part salt, four parts water), the real amber will slowly float, while the fake amber will not float.

2. Sound discrimination: The uninlaid amber chain 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. Eye observation: This is a trick to distinguish between true and fake amber; 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.

4. Ultraviolet irradiation: Put the amber under the money detector, it will fluoresce, light green, green, blue, white, etc. Plastic fake amber, on the other hand, does not change color.

Precautions

The best test methods are eye-viewing, ultraviolet irradiation, and experimental testing. Other methods more or less even if the amber is true will cause some damage to the amber, the above identification methods can not be used alone, should use a variety of test methods to separate layer by layer, to remove the false and retain the true!

Now the means of counterfeiting are too high, and the methods of salt water, smelling the smell and so on are not reliable. For the average player, there is no good identification method for old beeswax, so it is recommended that you find someone who understands it and buy it. The new wax can be illuminated with a fluorescent flashlight of a money detector, and the beeswax will emit white light after being irradiated, and it looks like a toffee-like milky frosted opaque feeling, which is very different from the general surface reflection, and it feels like the wax itself is stimulated by the light.

The optimized beeswax color is too uniform, and there is almost no white light after being irradiated by a fluorescent flashlight. Some of the pressed beeswax also have white light, but if you irradiate it with a strong flashlight, you will see that there are many granular filaments and cracks inside, and the silk is slightly reddened, because it is a large piece made of small pieces. The texture of plastic products will be different, you play with beeswax for a while, and then touch the plastic, the feeling is completely different.

If you don't get started, you will never learn, so it is recommended that you go to the antique market or buy it from the permanent store in the jewelry city, at least you will not buy plastic. Buy some small things under 10 grams first, ** it won't be too expensive, just play and understand.

How to distinguish the real from the fake? This method does not work.

The method of beeswax to distinguish the real from the fake: 1. Salt water test method: the density of beeswax is between, in 1:

4 (salt: water) in saturated brine, beeswax, light plastics and resins can float, ordinary plastics, glass, acrylic and bakelite sink. 2. Thermal test:

The needle is burned red, and the inconspicuous part of the beeswax is pricked, and there is a faint pine fragrance. Bakelite and plastic emit a pungent odor and stick to the needle. 3. Feel:

Beeswax is a neutral organic gemstone, which is not very hot in summer and not too cold in winter, and is very mild. Imitation with glass or chalcedony will feel very heavy. 4. Eye-pop bubbles:

The bubbles in the beeswax are mostly round, and the bubbles in the pressed beeswax are mostly long and flat.

Hope it helps.

Questions. Are you there?

This beeswax looks real, you can test it further.

Questions. How?

Smell the smell, real beeswax has a faint aroma or no smell after heating, and fake beeswax will have a pungent odor; 2.Ultraviolet irradiation, real beeswax will fluoresce when irradiated with ultraviolet light, and fake beeswax will not fluoresce; 3.Measuring static electricity, real beeswax rubbing on clothes will produce static electricity, and fake beeswax will not produce static electricity.

You can also turn on your phone's flashlight.

You can see it.

Questions. That's what I searched.

There is also the corner of the beeswax placed on the flashlight.

Let the beeswax stand up so that it looks good.

Further judgment can be made.

Therefore, it is not easy to use.

3. Listening to the sound method.

Real amber has a soft, slightly dull sound when rubbed, while fake amber made of plastic or resin has a relatively crisp sound.

Fourth, the law is weighted.

Amber is arguably the lightest gemstone in the world, so real amber weighs much less than some fake ambers, or it doesn't smell like a fake.

Second, the fragrance method.

1. Salt water method.

Put the amber without any inlays in the dense brine, if the amber floats, it is proved to be true, due to the continuous upgrading of amber counterfeiting technology, for amber identification, acidity and alkalinity, etc. At present, false amber has a relatively smooth feel, and in addition to the methods introduced above, there are other methods, such as hardness measurement.

Five. For amber identification, feel method.

The amber that touches the real amber and smells the fragrance is "fragrant". Amber can also be burned, real amber burns with a pine fragrance, while fake ones don't. This method of identification can cause damage to amber and can sometimes be difficult to distinguish between real and fake with instruments. Therefore.

The so-called "honey wax" is actually a type of "amber" in organic gemstones, because the content of succinic acid (an organic ingredient that relieves fatigue) in honey wax is more than that of other ambers, so it is opaque, and some people who do not know about it mistakenly think that this is another gemstone variety.

There is no very scientific definition of honey wax, because it is only a subspecies of amber, so the scientific definition of honey wax can be found in the definition of amber.

The hardness of honey wax is very low, probably only about that, in other words, slightly harder than human nails. Therefore, it should be avoided with other high-hardness gemstones to avoid being scratched by other high-hardness gemstones.

In addition, honey wax is an organic gemstone, so contact with other organic solutions, such as alcohol, gasoline, perfumes, cosmetics, etc., should be avoided.

In addition, honey wax is very easy to dry out and age due to dehydration, so it should be rubbed with grease often to avoid dehydration (I recommend you use olive oil, I myself like to use olive oil when playing with honey wax handles).

The toughness of honey wax is not very good, so the occurrence of collision should be reduced.

In China, there are Lushun in Liaoning and Qingdao in Shandong Province, but the shops that generally sell amber and honey wax are often played"Polish amber honey wax"In fact, the honey and amber produced in our country are not worse than those in Poland.

If you don't have the relevant knowledge of gem identification, just ask the merchant to take it out when you buy again"Gem & Jade Appraisal Certificate"That's it.

Opaque amber is often referred to as beeswax. Beeswax is a fossilized resin with a density that sinks in clear water, but it can float in 1:5 salt water, and beeswax can be distinguished by this method. Hope it works for you!

Amber was discovered in 1989, from the discovery to the present, it is not good to evaluate, people open to look at his constituent elements, and then it is found that there are several categories, beeswax, blood amber, etc. Observe and learn, and have a happy life!

Take a bite or buy a 1000 dot to see what the pass rate is?

There is a quarter of salt water, and what floats up, is real.

It's true that beeswax is not easy to trade.

How to distinguish between real and fake beeswax.

To distinguish between real and fake beeswax, you can soak the beeswax in saturated salt water, and if it is real beeswax, it can float in salt water. Many real beeswax are old and will leave a shiny and bright pulp.

Don't believe the claim that beeswax can be converted into amber. There is a yellow and white amber with more internal impurities on the market, called "bone amber", which is the most common substance used to pass off as beeswax. The lower grade of "Bone Amber" is not worth collecting.

The beeswax on the Internet is divided into noble beeswax, red beeswax, pink beeswax, blue beeswax, and snow mountain beeswax, which are all incorrect, basically the real beeswax is yellow opaque or translucent. At present, there are only two kinds of real beeswax, one is produced in Fushun, and the other is spread in the Arab Islamic region, and the beeswax circulated in the Arab region is imported from Europe in ancient times.

Beeswax is relatively mild, it will not be hot in summer, it will not be cold in winter, and the best maintenance method is to play and wear it often, so that the surface of the beeswax forms a layer of bright slurry. Beeswax should be kept away from chemicals such as soaps, perfumes, detergents, etc.
