Beeswax is a kind of amber. It is named for its "color like honey and light like wax". It is bright yellow and opaque. The good beeswax existed during the Cretaceous period about 50,000 to 60 million years ago. After the baptism of soil, water, air and various minerals, an organic gemstone was formed. It can be described as a sacred sacred field, adding to it the mysterious color of imagination, so that more and more people are eager to it. Friends who know amber wax know that beeswax is a kind of amber, opaque amber is beeswax, but big guys will also find that the price of beeswax in the wenwan market is obviously higher than the price of amber. Is the same thing, why is there a price difference?
Since ancient times, beeswax has been loved by royalty, nobility, collectors and untouchables all over the world. It is plastic and can be made into jewelry, neck ornaments and other decorations, and has a unique mysterious charm, making the wearer exalted and elegant. Temperament. The discovery and use of beeswax has a long history. It is a blessing of ornaments and religions adopted by the royal family in the past, which gives the wearer and collectors an unparalleled privilege and wealth. Amber is similar to beeswax and is a very precious gem. We often hear the words "Millennium Amber, Million Years of Beeswax", which shows its preciousness, but this sentence is not completely correct, because both amber and beeswax were formed 40 to 60 million years ago. . So what is the difference between amber and beeswax, what is the relationship between amber and beeswax? The following is a detailed introduction.
Carol Amber _ the leader of the international amber industry
First, transparency: In fact, beeswax is a kind of amber, transparent called amber, opaque called beeswax, this is the most intuitive and simple way to distinguish them. In fact, beeswax and amber are essentially the same, and the difference in transparency is only caused by the fact that the beeswax contains more succinic acid.
Second, the price: the price of beeswax jewelry is generally 2--4 times the price of amber jewelry, the price gap between the two in recent years is even greater. Merchants selling beeswax often use "millennium amber, 10,000 years of beeswax" to mislead the promotion of beeswax products. Many merchants have created a lot of historical events and stories to render beeswax. In fact, as long as we look at historical documents, we will find that there is no basis, just a popular pseudo-cultural marketing method. But natural beeswax is still hard to come by, and it is rarer than amber, so basically beeswax is more expensive than amber.
Third, the artistic value: the name of the beeswax was formed in the history of our country. Because of the official support of Tibetan Buddhism in the Qing Dynasty, as one of the seven treasures of Tibetan Buddhism, beeswax was added with special meanings to become worth more. The art and daily necessities made by amber and beeswax in the Ming and Qing Dynasties have the value of cultural relics today, and the value cannot be measured by money.
In terms of composition, amber beeswax is similar, because the resin is buried in the ground for thousands of years, but amber has been mined and processed at an early stage, so the whole amber market is relatively more developed. More mature, but beeswax has gradually become popular in the past ten years, the processing industry lags behind amber, and the variety and output of beeswax are significantly lower than amber, which is in short supply, so the price is naturally higher than amber.
At present, the general price of the beeswax is 200 yuan, and the price of the best beeswax is more than 500 yuan. Zhao Jinghua, head of the Public Welfare Appraisal Group of Shandong Volkswagen Collectives, said: "The use and admiration of beeswax has been in China since ancient times. The ancient book "Shan Hai Jing" records "peacelessness", meaning that it is often worn. It is easy to get sick. In recent years, the beeswax market in China has been heating up, and the price of beeswax is also rising. Even if it is a price of 10,000 yuan per gram, it still cannot prevent the Chinese people from obsessing with beeswax. Wearing beeswax is not only a symbol of identity, but also Good wishes for 'grass, ill ill'. Love its beautiful and eye-catching, but more love the cultural value of its connotation, which is probably the reason why Chinese people are obsessed with beeswax."
As the saying goes, "cheap is not good, good goods are not cheap." When buying antique art, avoid "snap" mentality.
At present, more than 60% of the beeswax sold on the market are optimized, and the original ecological beeswax is less. The antique old beeswax of “big open door†is even more difficult to meet. “The beeswax optimized by baking color does not destroy its natural ingredients, but only strengthens the oxidation rate. This process is allowed by the state.†The fakes on the market and the waxes that have been treated in the old are inexperienced. It is difficult for Tibetans to distinguish.
Sun Youlan, director of the Gold Laboratory of Jinan Quality Supervision Bureau, said: "It is important to distinguish the true and false beeswax. The texture of natural beeswax is flowing, and the lines of resin, plastic and other imitations are particularly stiff and agitated. The wax is a fossil of the tree fat liquid. The wax will melt between 250 ° C and 375 ° C. Based on this characteristic, there are two common methods of counterfeiting: one is the “second generation wax†which is formed by the melting of beeswax residue, and the second is the pure fake made of plastic and resin. "Beeswax is one of the easiest 'eye-catching' literary plays. If you don't have long-term deafness, most people can easily be fooled. Tibetans should not buy amber bees with a 'leak' mentality."
