The preciousness of red coral led profiteers to take the opportunity to make fakes. At the latest, from the Republic of China, there was a pure chemical celluloid. Its feeder is glazed with coral, covered with lead, coated with coral paint and painted with texture, carved into round beads with cow bones or talc, and infiltrated with red. This is a fake coral for sale.

Some of these fake methods have been passed down to this day, but it is not difficult to identify them: the "coral" made of materials contains bubbles inside, and the debris is shining, without real coral fingerprint patterns; The "coral" made of glass is conchoidal fracture, but the real coral gap is smooth; The "coral" made of noodles is not bright, and it has cracks after a long time, and the tapping sound is dull; Coral stained with bone keratin can be identified by wiping with acetone. Contemporary coral imitation uses advanced science and technology, such as white coral or sea bamboo similar to coral, and "synthetic coral" in gilson. It is extremely concealed. If we don't have rich experience or use scientific instruments to detect it, it's easy to confuse fish with pearls. In addition, real red corals can be divided into the following three categories according to their commercial value:

1, a dead coral that has completely stopped growing, is seriously damaged and has many holes;

2. The inverted coral has basically stopped growing, and the damage degree is still small;

3. Living coral, which can continue to grow on the seabed, has a film on its surface, which is dazzling and exquisite after polishing, and is the most precious among red corals.

1: longitudinally, the coral has parallel growth lines and the direction is parallel to the coral cylinder. If it is a ring surface, it is usually on the back. If it's carved, it's on the surface.

2. Looking horizontally, the cross section of coral has growth lines like annual rings, big and small. Growth lines with concentric circles usually appear on coral ornaments.

3. Look at the color: the color of coral is from the inside out. For example, the closer the coral column is to the surface layer, the darker the color of the coral and the lighter the inner layer. In other words, the color of coral is uneven. If the color of coral is the same inside and outside, it will be suspected to be fake!

Identify false coral

One is coral ornaments made of sea willow and sea bamboo. The surface of this imitation has obvious longitudinal texture, uniform color and no pore characteristics unique to coral.

The second is to fill in coral dyeing. Dendritic reef-building coral with loose texture in shallow sea is disguised as coral by filling and dyeing with glue. This kind of imitation has a smooth, rough and fragile surface, and its color is easy to fade and identify.

The third is synthetic coral dyeing, that is, grinding all kinds of shellfish or reef-building corals into powder, and then injecting them into the shapes of various corals. This kind of fake coral has no natural texture, almost every coral is the same, and its color is easy to fade.

Fourth, all kinds of coral products imitated by jade, such as dolomite or calcite. It looks uniform in color, but it is easy to fade and dull.

Fifth, plastic products are dyed with fake coral. Its texture is very light, easy to fade, without any natural texture and luster, and without the charm of coral at all.
