Amber and beeswax buying tips

We buy amber and beeswax, we should know their main origin, usually divided into five regions.

Produced in Sicily, called SIMETITE, and produced in Romania, called RUMANITE, are darker and more ancient, with more sulfides, the least of which existed before. The production in the marine area of ​​Duluo is relatively abundant, and it is precious to be pure and transparent. The Asian producing area is made of Burma, called BURMITE, which contains more beeswax. The Americas mainly produce Dominicans from the West Indies, and other regions are Morocco and South Africa. As for the Soviet Union, H. Ben, Canada, South Korea and Spain, they produce mainly natural resins.

Usually we buy amber and beeswax bracelets or neck strings, we should pay special attention to whether the variety, texture, color, model and so on of each bead are the same. If the same, then you are arrogant. Quality and color are the most important. They should be pure, natural, fine and even. It is better to be one.

Old varieties and old workers inevitably have long-term traces and weathering lines, and even a few defects in the orifice are oxidized. Because they are made of beads by hand, there are subtle differences in the size and shape of each piece of politics, especially for each bead hole. It is not made of mechanical imitation or synthetic products by mechanical molding. . (Modern plastic imitations also have irregularities in size).

Some old varieties are over-oxidized because of the table, so the merchants re-polished the light to attract more buyers, but the weathering lines on the surface of some ancient rare treasures have been polished, and the small holes have to be re-drilled.

The general neck string can be connected in series with dark brown nylon rope or brown nylon rope (to be mixed with hemp). In the case of highly transparent varieties, the color of the rope should be carefully chosen so as not to affect the true color and look of the amber itself.
