Wax is a kind of wax, a kind of amber, opaque or semi-opaque amber is called wax, tree fat fossil, amorphous, no fixed internal atomic structure and external shape, fracture often The shell layer is shaped with a refractive index ranging from 1.54 to 1.55, and birefringence is not applicable. Physically, the proportion of beeswax is between 1.05 and 1.10, which is only slightly larger than water and is a precious ornament.
Wax is more expensive than amber, is it expensive?
This cognition can be said to be the most wrong. The formation of beeswax and amber is very similar, but the price basis is not the same, so there is no one who is more expensive than others, especially the boutique, basically no specific price, the most obvious Is the Dominican sky blue, who can say that he is cheaper than beeswax?
Is the amber beeswax the same?
In China, for the sake of convenience, amber is divided into two major categories, namely beeswax and amber, according to transparency. Transparent amber is called amber, translucent and opaque amber is often called beeswax. In fact, amber beeswax is a thing, because in foreign countries, they are called amber.
Which is better for amber and beeswax?
In terms of the current market situation, beeswax is more popular than amber, but it is not higher in price than amber, and there are more beeswax jewelry. The same is true for people who buy it. Of course, in addition to the factors you like, the amount of beeswax is high, and the price is not high. Still, don't talk about who is good or who is bad, depending on what you like.
The difference between amber and beeswax:
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 In fact, as long as we look at historical documents, we will find that there is no basis, just a popular pseudo-cultural marketing method. However, natural beeswax is still very rare, and it is much less than the storage of amber. So if the 10mm amber bracelet is about 1000, and the beeswax bracelet is about 2000, so the beeswax is basically more expensive than the amber. high.
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.
