The quality of beeswax mainly depends on its cleanliness and beautiful color, and the most precious one isCrimson Bird's HeadThis is a kind of amber produced in the Baltic Sea. It is a beautiful deep red, similar to jujube red.

2Identification Method

First of all, I would like to remind everyone in particular, there are street vendors."偷换概念"可以翻译为 "equivocation" 或 "conceptual substitution"。Bind non-fossil resin to synthetic materials.

Amber is the fossil of prehistoric pine resin, formed between 40 million and 60 million years ago. The main components of amber are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and a small amount of sulfur. Its hardness ranges from 2 to 3, with a specific gravity of 1.05 to 1.10. The melting point is between 150C and 180C, and the combustion point is between 250C and 375C. Amber is a very "tart" material, and no two pieces of amber are completely the same. It can be identified by scientific instruments to determine its composition and structure. Amber is generally identified by its low specific gravity and hardness, and in addition, its refractive index is also very special.

Spending money to have an identification done: obtained the CMA.Jewelry identificationThe center goes to measure refractive index, density, etc.

Test Method: Observation, UV Light Exposure, Touch Sense, Salt Water. Other methods, to some extent, can detect whether amber is genuine, but they will cause some damage to the amber. The above identification methods should not be used alone; they should be used in combination to separate the false from the true, one step at a time!

However, the most reliable method for identification is to personally go to the geological department for testing!There is no such thing as "cannot be detected." - Even if the so-called "Middle East Bee Wax" that has emerged in China in recent years is not yet hot enough or has not yet attracted the attention of detection departments, it at least tells buyers the actual composition of Middle East Bee Wax.

3Maintenance Method

1) Amber is afraid of strong acids and strong bases. Amber belongs to organic matter and is easily dissolved in organic solvents. It is best to avoid contact with alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, and organic solutions containing alcohol, such as nail polish, perfume, hair spray, and insecticides. Please take off your amber jewelry when spraying perfume or hair spray.

2) Amber has a low melting point, which makes it easy to melt and susceptible to heat. It is also sensitive to direct sunlight and high temperatures. Amber jewelry should not be left in the sun for a long time or placed near a warm stove, as excessive dryness can cause cracks. It is best to avoid strong temperature fluctuations.

3) Amber is easily dehydrated, and it is easy to produce cracks if it is too dry. It is best to store it separately in a sealed plastic bag when not in use.

4) Amber is brittle and has low hardness, so it is not suitable for external force impact. It should be avoided from friction and scratching to prevent scratches and breakage. Try not to knock or drop the amber products. Friction with hard objects can make the surface rough and produce fine scars.

5) Amber jewelry should be stored separately, do not mix with diamonds, other sharp or hard jewelry.

The best way to maintain amber is to wear it for a long time, as human body oils can make amber shine brighter over time.

7) Clean the amber jewelry with a special cleaning liquid. Do not use a supersonic jewelry cleaning machine to clean amber, as it may break the amber. Do not use hard brushes or toothbrushes to clean amber. Professional polishing is done by mixing toothpowder with melted wax oil, and to polish while the mixture is still warm. In summary, amber has a certain hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance, and normal wearing and playing will not cause damage. If there is any damage, it should be handled by professionals.
