The beeswax on the market is all fake, is my beeswax real?

Not to say old beeswax.

Is a piece hard to find? So so many old beeswax on the market are fake? Obviously, for the sake of profit, the merchant is misleading consumers and has been within the scope of a fake.

There are two keys to distinguish the real old beeswax: the longer the raw material of natural beeswax, the better, and after tens of thousands of years of natural oxidation, it can be regarded as old beeswax. The ancients handed down after playing, such old beeswax is also called the old beeswax, after a long period of wearing and playing with these old beeswax has a strong sense of history.

Beeswax refers to opaque amber, and it is also one of the seven treasures in the oriental tradition, so in China, beeswax is more popular in the market than transparent amber.

There are three ways to cheat beeswax:1It's pure plastic; 2.the second generation pressed beeswax; 3.Cobal resin.

1. Identification of plastics: The composition of plastic and beeswax is different, rub it by hand, and it has a pine fragrance. The gloss of the plastic is hard, and there is a thief light on the surface.

2. Identification of the second generation of beeswax: The so-called second-generation old beeswax is the beeswax formed by pressing it together with beeswax powder. The characteristic of the second generation is that the texture inside is a regular stirring pattern. Whereas, natural beeswax is irregular and very natural.

3. Identification of Coba resin: Coba resin is also a natural resin, compared with the amber we often see now, the color appears lighter, usually light lemon or nearly transparent white, the texture is also soft, scrape the surface with a fingernail, you will immediately see obvious scratches. If it is ordinary beeswax, it is not so easy to scrape the surface with your fingernails.

In addition, the surface of the copal resin is a bit sticky.

The method of beeswax to identify the real and the fake, as follows:

Scratch identification is to gently scrape the surface of the beeswax with a sharp knife tip, because the hardness of the beeswax is about the same as that of a fingernail, and it does not require too much force. And if we touch the place scraped with a knife with our fingers, we will find that there is a lot of powder adsorbed on our hands. If it is counterfeit beeswax of other materials, it is rare to have such a fine powder, but usually scraped out of the filament, and the two sides of the scraped place will bulge.

Ultraviolet identification method, whether it is amber or beeswax, will show a sky-blue fluorescent reaction effect under ultraviolet light, while it is difficult to make such a reaction with fake artificial beeswax made of other materials. Therefore, if we want to identify the authenticity of beeswax when buying beeswax, the small ultraviolet instrument used by the general bank to identify counterfeit banknotes can be used as an identification tool, which is simple and effective.

Other methods:

The hardness of beeswax is slightly higher than that of fresh water, but it is lower than that of salt water. Therefore, real natural beeswax will sink in clear water and float in a brine solution with a ratio of 1:4.

Generally, artificial counterfeit beeswax products made of other materials, such as plastic imitations, are densely populated, and these items will float on the surface of the water if they are put into clean water.

This method of chemical agent testing and identification is mainly used to test whether the beeswax is counterfeited from copal resin or other general resins, because objects that have not yet been completely petrochemicalized such as copal resin and general resin can be dissolved when encountering organic solutions such as alcohol and methanol. However, a completely petrified object such as amber beeswax does not dissolve in organic solutions.

Summary. Smell the smell: After a few seconds of rapid rubbing of natural beeswax with your hands, you will smell a faint pine scent, after all, amber is formed of resin.

Friction Electrification: Amber can attract small scraps of paper after rubbing on clothes, which is the frictional electrification learned in physics textbooks when I was a child.

Irradiation method: When the amber is irradiated with a blue light flashlight, the amber will fluoresce, green, blue and other colors. Plastic fake amber will not change color.

Is my beeswax real?

Hello, happy to answer your questions, we are sorting out the relevant information for you, please wait a moment.

Hello, is there a **? I can help you take a look.

Method Step 1 with the eyes**: What this method requires is a feeling, real beeswax has a warm, shiny feeling; Many synthetic beeswaxes are heavier and cooler to the touch. 2 feel it by hand:

Amber is a neutral gemstone and is generally not too cold or too hot. Imitation beeswax will feel colder.

3. Smell the smell: After a few seconds of rapid rubbing of natural beeswax with your hands, there will be a faint pine smell when you smell it, after all, amber is formed by resin. 4. Friction Energizing:

Amber can attract small scraps of paper when rubbed on clothing, which is the triboelectric startup learned in physics textbooks as a child. 5. Irradiation method: When the amber is irradiated with a blue flashlight, the amber will fluoresce, green, blue and other colors.

Plastic fake amber will not change color.

Otherwise, it is difficult to identify the authenticity of beeswax, this is because the current counterfeiting technology is too sophisticated, and some fake beeswax looks exactly like real beeswax!

In addition, you can learn how to identify the authenticity of beeswax by observing the texture of beeswax, and I will upload a few sets of beeswax authenticity**, I hope it will help you identify beeswax!

Look at the truth, the third picture is a natural texture, the gram price of this kind of shaped bracelet is about 10 yuan, which is very common in the market now.

This is skewered with skin.

Regarding the identification of beeswax authenticity, fire and hot acupuncture have a certain destructive effect on beeswax, and the method of soaking in salt water is also unreliable.

The beeswax is warmer to the touch and will not feel cold to the touch; The texture is lighter, but it still has weight in the hand, and it will not feel like plastic pretending to be in the hand.

The flow lines inside the beeswax are relatively slow and natural, rather than artificially stirred; There is also a very light fragrance of beeswax, which is basically unsmellable.

It's true, with the type bracelet, you must be wearing a big one, ** very cheap.

Don't look at those messy detection methods on the Internet, burn them with fire, they all sound ridiculous, what to do if they are burned, good beeswax is thousands of dollars or even tens of thousands of dollars, you dare to try it with fire. There is also a test with salt water, how can you control the concentration of salt water, and some beeswax can float in clean water. What else to look at bubbles, most beeswax is without bubbles.

If you're really not sure if it's true, ask the seller to make you a certificate.

Really, don't get too entangled, this casual is not expensive.

Burning with fire, softening the dripping oil is fake.
