The word "baked color" may be misunderstood as the second generation or fake when many players hear it for the first time. In fact, this is only a heat treatment oxidation technology, which will not change other chemical properties of amber products, nor will it cause other damage to amber. Players don't have to worry about this.
1, why do you want to bake it?
The optimization of amber baking color is mainly to reduce the mass production of natural blood pool and meet the demand of amber lovers for amber color.

2. Technical principle
Heat treatment: heat treatment of amber by high temperature oxidation process to accelerate the oxidation process of amber.
Baking: It is a kind of heat treatment. In the oxygen environment, the surface of amber is rapidly oxidized by high temperature, which gradually changes the surface color and internal color of amber, and finally the player wants blood color.
1) raw material blood pool
This is Jin Po. After high temperature, its surface quickly oxidizes and discolors, turning into blood color. The higher the temperature, the faster the color changes.

It turns blood amber after oxidation.
2) Bake beeswax
Using natural beeswax, the color is deepened by high temperature oxidation, which looks like old beeswax with a certain year. Beeswax takes a long time to bake and oxidize.

After the beeswax is baked, the color depth of the beeswax can be controlled according to the baking time and temperature.
3. Identification of baking amber

Baked blood amber has no fluorescence under ultraviolet light. (The picture on the left shows baking blood amber in natural light, and the picture on the right shows purple light. )

Natural blood amber has different shades of color block fluorescence reflection under the irradiation of purple light (the picture on the left shows the photo of natural blood amber under natural light, and the picture on the right shows the photo under purple light).

Fluorescence reaction of primary beeswax

The primary color beeswax is under purple light. There is no fluorescence when natural skin is left behind, because natural skin has no fluorescence reaction after long-term contact with air and oxidation.

Baked beeswax has no fluorescence reaction under violet light.
4. The influence of baking process on amber.
Baking oxidation technology has no effect on amber, nor will it change the original chemical properties of amber, nor will it cause harm to buyers. This is mainly to meet the needs of enthusiasts for the color of amber beeswax.
At present, many merchants in the market use beeswax as antique beeswax after baking. This is not right, it will make amber beeswax players have a wrong understanding, and it is also an act of deceiving customers. It should not be used to deceive customers to obtain benefits.
At present, amber processing plants have different views on whether to bake, specifically to see what kind of finished products consumers like for processing and production. This is the reason why carrots and vegetables have their own love.
