1. What is beeswax?
Beeswax is actually a kind of name created by the literati, and the official name is amber, and because there are many types of amber, there are many forms of existence, so in order to distinguish between different types of amber, the literati have created many names.
Opaque amber is called honey wax, transparent amber is called gold permeable, and semi-impenetrable respective golden honey and gold bag honey, etc., then what is beeswax, that is, a kind of amber, because the internal succinic acid content is different, showing an opaque state, this is beeswax, is a kind of resin fossil formed 60 million years ago to 450 million years ago.
What's going on with Millennium Amber Evergreen Wax? Millennium amber perpetual wax, on the surface, means that the formation of amber takes thousands of years, while the formation of beeswax takes ten thousand years, and the formation time of amber and beeswax is not calculated in thousands or thousands of years at all, but in thousands of years.
Why is there a thousand years of amber beeswax, in fact, it is because the merchants want to hype the price of beeswax and put forward a misleading concept, with this concept, it can be said that beeswax is more precious than amber, the price will be much higher, but in fact, amber and beeswax do not have time to distinguish at all. In the same mining area, amber and wax, are formed at the same time, and even some amber and wax, are symbiotes, so how can there be a time of formation, so the millennium amber wax, this is a false proposition, is to mislead the player a statement, the real amber and beeswax, there is no time gap at all.
Is old beeswax worth collecting?
Speaking of old honey wax, and to talk about the hype problem of the cultural play market, in fact, the so-called old honey wax, are a kind of statement that the literary play merchants want to enhance the value of the wax, in fact, the value of the old wax and the value of the new wax, there is no difference, many players will say, in the collection circle, as long as the thing is old, then the value is high, so to speak, this is a misunderstanding.
What are the origins of beeswax?
There are many beeswax producing areas in the world, the real quality is not much, the most well-known production areas are several, namely Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Denmark, Dominica, Mexico, Myanmar, which is also the world's most well-known production area, China's Liaoning and Germany also have a small amount of output, but because of the poor quality, relatively niche.
How much does the gram cost of beeswax?
Many players know that this should be a new person to ask the question, why, because the real old players will not ask this, it is like you go to the mobile phone market to ask how much mobile phone is the same, mobile phone according to different configurations, different shapes, different brands, the value is not the same, beeswax is the same, according to the different quality of beeswax, different colors, whether there are flaws, etc., the gram price is also different, such as some scraps polished with beeswax, the gram price is very cheap, and some whole pieces of beeswax pendants, The price will be higher, and even different merchants, the same quality, the price is not the same, so the price of beeswax should be judged according to different qualities, different phases, different colors, etc., so we must fully understand the knowledge of honey wax and know how to judge the price of honey wax.
How to maintain beeswax?
Natural beeswax, then in the process of playing and wearing, how to maintain it, in fact, beeswax is not as fragile as we think, what hardness is not high, it is easy to scratch, although the hardness of beeswax is about 3 mohs, if you use your teeth to bite the wax, it must be your teeth that are injured, not to mention what is scratched with nails. But it is not to say that the wax will not be bad, if it bumps with the hardness, or falls to the ground, it is also very easy to break, even if it is a very hard gemstone will also be damaged, so usually when we maintain the honey wax, do not be too careful, do not be too casual, to avoid bumping damage is a must. Honey wax is more afraid of drying, if too dry, honey wax will produce weathering lines due to water loss or cracking from the inside, so usually play more plates, wear more, there is human nourishment, honey wax will not lose water, other, honey wax really does not need too much maintenance.
Is wearing beeswax good for the human body?
