How to choose beeswax

With the gradual development of science and technology, people's living economy has gradually grown, various commodities are dazzling, and more and more decorations are deeply loved by us. But some decorations are too luxurious, and their high prices make them out of reach, while some decorations are very cheap but cannot satisfy our inner needs. Good decorations also need to be chosen by people who know how to choose, so how should beeswax be selected?

The selection of amber raw stones should be based on their leather, texture and shape.

First of all, we need to look at the skin. During the formation of beeswax, the layer exposed to the outside is affected by geothermal heat and ground pressure, and is in contact with the air for a long time. After tens of millions of years of changes, a relatively rough layer will form on the surface. Some have weathering marks. This is the mineral skin. A whole piece of beeswax raw stone will be wrapped in mineral skin. The mineral skin has different shades of color. You can judge what kind of beeswax is inside by looking at the color of the mineral skin. For example, gray mineral skin is generally white beeswax inside; black mineral skin is generally golden amber inside; red mineral skin is generally honey-colored beeswax inside.

The second thing to look at is the texture, that is, the wax quality. If the raw stone is completely covered with mineral skin, you need to use a strong flashlight to shine it. If it is completely transparent, it is amber; if it is slightly translucent, it is generally white beeswax; if it is moderately translucent, it is generally yellow beeswax, honey-colored beeswax, etc.; if one part is completely translucent and the other part is moderately translucent, it is half honey and half amber, also known as golden twisted honey. If the raw amber stone has a window, that is, a part of the mineral skin has been worn off, with the flesh exposed, it can be seen very clearly and the risk of purchasing will be much smaller.

Finally, look at the shape and select the raw amber stone. If you are choosing a raw amber stone to be worn as a pendant after drilling a hole, you should choose one with a flat side and a regular or streamlined shape. This will make it more beautiful to wear and have a better effect. If you are choosing a raw amber stone to send for carving, you should choose one with a full shape and no obvious grooves and holes on the surface. Try to choose a large piece. With such a raw stone, the carving master can better design and conceive, and it is easier to carve fine products, and less material will be wasted.

There is no definitive answer to the selection of amber raw stones. It mainly depends on your needs and preferences. Generally speaking, if you just want to play with or wear it in your hand, you can choose amber raw stones with full leather, weathering marks or brain marks. Such amber raw stones will feel better and will be more comfortable to rub in your hand. If you want to carve, but don't know enough about the raw amber stone, friends who lack experience can try to choose raw amber stone with windows, so the risk will be much smaller.

When selecting amber raw stones, the main thing to consider when choosing amber is whether the surface of the amber is mesh-like. The skin should be as thin and complete as possible. It is recommended to choose sea material. How deep are the cracks in the ore?

People who obtain personal abilities under accidental conditions without human interference are also called people with natural abilities. The probability of occurrence is extremely small, with a total of about 50 people in the world. Abilities are often very strange, and some are even unclear to the person themselves. Unlike those with artificial abilities, the abilities of the original stone can be freely exerted without calculation, like instinct. In SS2, they were collected from all over the world by Academy City and brought to the city. See A Certain Magical Index for details.

Beeswax is a type of amber. Opaque or semi-opaque amber is called beeswax. It is fossilized tree resin liquid and is an amorphous body with no fixed internal atomic structure and external shape. Its fracture is often shell-like. The refractive index is between 1.54 and 1.55, and birefringence is not applicable. Physical tests have shown that the specific gravity of beeswax is between 1.05 and 1.10, only slightly larger than water, making it a precious decorative item.

After reading the above introduction on how to choose beeswax, I think everyone should have some understanding. Beeswax is a variety of amber, which shows how precious it is. If you choose it poorly, it is easy to cause defects in its color. It is not worth it to spend so much money on a substandard product. Therefore, we must be clear about the selection method and keep our eyes open when looking at products.
