The most obvious difference between baked beeswax and old beeswax is that

The color of natural beeswax is naturally oxidized, while the baked color beeswax is formed by heating treatment. The color of natural beeswax is natural and soft, and the color on the same piece of beeswax is different, which is very irregular; The roasted beeswax after heating treatment is more uniform in color and relatively single, lacking the charm of natural old beeswax after years of precipitation.

After our accumulated play and precipitation over time, a layer of slurry will form on the surface of natural old beeswax, which will look like a sense of heaviness; The essence of the baked beeswax is still new beeswax, and the baked beeswax will leave a special luster during the heating process, which can be distinguished as long as you observe carefully.

The baked beeswax is essentially new beeswax, and although its color is similar to that of natural old beeswax when baked at high temperature, it is very different in luster. The color of the baked beeswax is too uniform, and there is an unnatural luster, which makes it look stiff and unnatural. The surface of natural old beeswax has formed a slurry of years, which will produce a soft treasure light, with a waxy luster and texture, and a very creamy texture.

Ice cracks of baked beeswax.

It is very fast at high temperature, which is obviously different from the ice cracks formed by natural old beeswax over a long period of time. The ice cracks of the roasted old beeswax are directly visible to the naked eye, and the roasted ice cracks float on the surface, which is not delicate and uneven, which is completely different from the natural formation. Genuine natural beeswax has a delicate texture and is engraved with deep weathering lines.

The orifice is also a key element to identify the authenticity of Lao Lao beeswax, due to the previous perforation technology is relatively backward, the orifice of natural old beeswax usually has ice cracks and oxidized color is very dark, and there is obvious vitreous luster. The roasted old beeswax has none, which is easier to identify.

The baked beeswax has red at both ends of the pores, but it is basically not worn, and it cannot form natural old beeswax, which will appear due to the long-term friction of the thread.

Natural amber beeswax.

contains fluorescent substances, so in ultraviolet light.

, it will produce fluorescence reactions such as white-blue, blue-green, etc. In the case of synthetically pressed, toasted amber, the interior and surface of the amber have been altered and destroyed, so it is not possible to produce a normal fluorescence reaction.

Old beeswax knows that due to the oxidation of the surface year after year, there will be some traces of time, such as most of the surface sermons are full of weathered fine lines, or the surface is pitted and pitted, but this is a long natural oxidation process. The surface oxidation of the baking old honey wax is made in a short time by using the high-temperature and constant temperature baking technology, and the constant temperature and high temperature are used to accelerate dehydration and cause bursting.

But careful comparison is completely different, the type of weathering pattern of imitation old beeswax is often very single, as shown in Figure 3a beeswax beads for old, the surface of the "weathering pattern" can be felt relatively deep, basically with the hand can be directly touched, clearly visible to the naked eye, seemingly obvious,

1. Holes: The new beeswax is a freshly punched hole is generally small, and the old beeswax after a long time of wearing and rubbing, the hole is very smooth at one time, the hole is relatively large, and some shapes will also undergo some irregular one-time, such as keyholes, currency holes, horn holes, etc.

2. Color: The new beeswax is not slurry when it is not played, and the color of the new beeswax is generally lighter, while the old beeswax is more intense after a long time of oxidation.

3. Texture: The surface of the new beeswax is smooth, while the surface of the old beeswax is somewhat weathered, with weathering lines, some with ice cracks, or open stripes, and the surface of the old beeswax has a thick layer of slurry, while the new honey does not have this kind of slurry.

<>1. The difference between holes: the holes just made by the new beeswax are generally smaller, while the old beeswax has larger holes after long-term wear; 2. The difference in color: Generally, the color of new beeswax is lighter, while the color of old beeswax is stronger after a long period of oxidation; 3. The taste is different

The pine scent of new beeswax is easy to smell by rubbing it by hand, while the old beeswax is basically difficult to smell because of the thick pulp.

How to choose beeswax.

1. First of all, look at the color of beeswax, which can be divided into yellow and white according to the color system. It can be subdivided into white beeswax, white flower beeswax, lemon yellow beeswax, etc., and you can choose the beeswax you like.

2. If there is no problem with the color of the beeswax, look at the details, first take a strong flashlight, and then light it carefully to see if there is black, miscellaneous, whether there are cracks, etc.

3. Look at the texture of beeswax, beeswax should be oily, delicate and uniform, amber should be clear and transparent, the beeswax lines of a good carver are smooth, the demeanor of the characters is natural and expressive, and the delicate works need to be carved and polished for a long time, and the composition is exquisite, and the layout is symmetrical. In the beeswax circle, the larger the block, the more collectible it is, and of course, it is not low.

The best is to use old beeswax that has been worn for hundreds of years, jujube red skin, no congenital willow cracks, no acquired bumps, well-preserved, and the shape is Tibetan beads. If it is a whole strip, the form is similar and the color is similar. It is thousands of dollars a gram, and it is difficult to see it on the market.

The second is the same thing, but the yellow one, commonly known as: chanterelle yellow, is worn for a lighter year than the jujube red one. The whole strip is close in color and in complete condition, and it is more than 1,000 or 2,000 grams.

The new beeswax mostly refers to the Baltic Sea production, but the new one has not been worn for a hundred years, there are all kinds of natural irregular flocculents in it, and it is impossible to have full condensation of jujube red and full condensation of chanterelle yellow, if there is, it is mostly artificially roasted, strengthened and other optimized colors. The small beads are more than 100 grams, the larger the diameter, the more expensive, and the diameter of more than 20 mm is currently one gram.

Beeswax has been going on year by year, so there are a lot of various frauds on the market, and even many of them are pure plastic products.

Hello, the oxide layer of old wax is naturally oxidized over time, and the baking color is artificially heated by equipment in a short period of time.

From the point of view of luster, although the color of the baked beeswax is very close to the natural old beeswax, there is still a difference in the luster. The surface of natural old beeswax is oxidized for a long time, and the process is slow, and the oxidation will form a thick layer of slurry from the surface to the inside. If it is played with for a long time, the color is oily and shiny but soft.

Compared with natural old beeswax, the roasted "old beeswax" has few transition layers due to the short-term contribution of the oxide layer. The surface loses water too quickly, which makes it look either dull and dull, shiny and rigid, or after extreme polishing, it is glowing with "thief light" and not soft. A comparison between the two can be clearly distinguished.

From the point of view of ice cracks, the ice cracks of roasted old beeswax can be seen directly with the naked eye, while the ice cracks of natural old beeswax need to be enlarged before they can be seen. The roasted old beeswax ice cracks float on the surface and are uneven, while the naturally formed ice cracks are contained in it, which are more evenly distributed and irregularly trending, and seem to be wrapped in a layer of hyalurin, and the surface is smooth to the touch. The naturally formed ice crack is a manifestation of the dry crack of beeswax in a long period of time that loses water and demoisturizes, and the formation process of this ice crack is quite slow, and it is a slow and gradual penetration process over time, so the ice crack formed in this way is very delicate and very uniform.

This ice crack is not easily visible without a magnifying glass or in bright light.

The ice crack of the baked old beeswax is made in a short time by using the technology of baking color at high temperature and constant temperature, and it is a burst performance that accelerates dehydration by using constant temperature and high temperature. This kind of short-term rapid ice crack is inevitably uneven, there are large open pieces, and some parts have not yet cracked, so this short-term rapid ice crack can be called a burst crack. Most of these cracks float on the surface and can be seen directly with the naked eye.
