Generally, beeswax is higher than amber, because the reserves of beeswax are much lower than amber, so things are rare. Some top-grade beeswax has reached 100 euro a gram, but amber is still a long way from this price. In the collection of amber beeswax, there are relatively few kinds of beeswax, which are easy to distinguish, and the domestic market has a high acceptance and a long history. They have always been admired by dignitaries and cherished by Buddha worshippers, so they are easy to start and sell.
At present, more and more amber is made into ornaments, which can be divided into Baltic amber, Dominican blue amber, Myanmar mine amber, Fushun flower amber and Mexican amber according to the place of origin. It is divided into Jin Po, Xuepo, Chapo, Baipo, Blue Slope, Green Slope and Purple Slope by color. Due to the complex classification, the amber reserves of various colors are not clear, and its price depends on which color is fried today.
Which color will go up, for example, Lanpo was popular two years ago, and Lanpo in Dominica has been turned over dozens of times. However, from the perspective of metallogenic age, the short metallogenic time and low hardness of Lanpo in Dominica have affected its collection value. Therefore, amber collectors should have a pair of discerning eyes, which can not only identify the authenticity of amber, but also identify the vagaries and ups and downs of amber market. But one thing is certain, natural insects are very precious and worth collecting.
Extended data
Six principles should be grasped in amber collection:
1, fidelity. Amber is an organic gem. Since the 1940 s, various synthetic amber products have been staged in turn, which has led to confusion in the amber market. China's beeswax has many strange names, all of which are synthetic amber.
2, big. It is always an unbreakable truth to collect any precious stones and scarce resources. In particular, the collection of amber raw materials with large volume and regular shape is very important. Because the shipment rate of amber raw materials is not high, the shipment rate of carvings is 30% to 50%, and the shipment rate of irregular original stone pendants is higher, usually 70% to 80%. So the size of raw materials is very important.
3. There are insects and plants. The more complete and clear insects and plants are, the more valuable they are. For collectors and investors, only amber containing rare creatures or plants is worth collecting.
4. There is content and scenery. Natural gems are endowed with the most beautiful and rich contents. If these contents form a colorful natural picture, it is certainly valuable. Some rough stones will have a variety of scenery and colors, showing a three-dimensional shape, rich and colorful, and some are like sunset.
Some are like thin morning fog, some are like forests and grasslands, and some are like lakes and mountains. This enjoyment of beauty collides with the soul of the collector, forming a magnificent movement of the collection.
5. clarity. For any gem, clarity is very important, although amber collection looks at insects, plants and scenery; But this does not mean that amber is turbid. However, except for the content part, other parts have good clarity, high transparency and more collectible value.
6. color. This is an important indicator of gem collection. Amber is rich and beautiful in color, but not all colors of amber are scarce varieties, and the scarce colors of amber in each place of origin are different.
Throughout the amber family, Jin Po is the most worthy of collection, and Jin Po is better with golden yellow; Followed by blue amber and green amber, although these two kinds of amber have a short petrochemical age, they are rare colors in amber, so they are also very worthy of investment and collection.
