Also known as coral
The name of Akaaka AKA (main producing area: Japan, a small part of Taiwan Province Province) is translated from Japanese, which means red and generally refers to red coral. Coral is usually red, with different concentrations of red, such as orange, vermilion, Zhen Hong, crimson, black and red. Some sellers will roughly divide the red color of Aka coral into five color grades, and the deeper it is, the more expensive it is. Of course, Aka corals are also pink, pink or orange-pink, but they are not often encountered.
? Momo coral
MOMO Momo (origin: Taiwan Province Province) is translated from Japanese, which means peach or peach color, and generally refers to peach coral. Momo has many colors, from light red to red, some are yellow and some are orange. Momo coral has a wide range of colors, including white, light pink, pink, orange powder, peach powder, orange, pink, vermilion and Zhen Hong. As you can see, the overall color of Momo coral is mostly light red, but it is rare for Momo coral to reach scarlet and crimson like Aka.
Momo coral and red coral are mainly produced in Taiwan Province Province and Japanese waters. These two kinds of red corals are relatively uniform in color and have * * * similarity, that is, they both have a white core, which is one of the important characteristics and symbols of Momo and Akaka corals. Take the torus as an example. If Aka and Momo are the same in red, they seem to be the same at first glance, but if you look closely, you can find that the texture of Akaka coral is different. Momo Momo is a kind of porcelain material similar to porcelain. Compared with Aka Akaka coral, the unique fingerprint lines on the coral surface are clearer. Momo coral can have a good head, that is, it is fresh and bright, but the texture of Momo coral is not described by transparency. It's porcelain texture, which is quite different from the glass texture of coral in Akaka. If it is a larger sculpture of Aka coral and Momo coral, the difference in texture will be stronger. The sculpture of Aka coral is vivid and slightly transparent, and it is like a gem in the spotlight, while Momo is calm, warm, restrained and solid.
sardine
The color of Sardinia is similar to that of Aka, generally orange, orange, vermilion, Zhen Hong and crimson, but it can reach the deepest color of Aka coral, that is, red and black, which is rare. The main producing area of Sardinia is the sea area near Sardinia in the Mediterranean of Europe. Because the operators are mostly Italians, Sardinia is also called "Italian Coral". Sardinia has no white heart, so the most important thing to distinguish between Aka and Sardinia is whether there is a white heart, whether it is a torus, a round bead or a carved pendant. If it is Akka, you will basically see a white heart. Sardinia sometimes has white spots or uneven white spots the size of a needle tip, but
In the past, people called the coral produced in Sardinia, Italy, Sardinia, or Sardinia for short. However, sardines are now considered as a species. In other words, as long as a certain sea area, color hardness density and so on are within a range, it can be called Sardinia. So it is not limited to Sardinia, Italy. But as far as the characteristics of Sardinia are concerned, it is still relatively easy to distinguish. Aka looks more transparent than sardines and sardines, and there are fewer wormholes or white spots than Aka, and the surface is relatively smoother, the branches are thinner and the size is even, so it is often found in bead necklaces or bracelets. A little thicker sardines are more expensive, with more non-porous raw materials, and the limit of round beads can even reach about 16 mm, but there are few pieces of sardines, which can hardly be used for carving. The price of bovine blood red in Sardinia is neck and neck with the top grade Aka.
Deep-water material (main origin: Midway Island in the Pacific Ocean), with pink spots on white background.
White coral is generally called white coral. In addition, some people in the market call the "baby face" material light-colored Momo. In fact, baby face used to refer to Akaka material with very uniform powder and transparent texture, called angel skin. However, with people's increasing love for corals, there are different channels for the exploitation, processing and sales of corals, so there are more and more names.
Aka is a kind of red coral, which is found near the Sea of Japan. "Aka" is a Japanese pronunciation, it is not the name of color, and some people use the letter AK to express it. Because Aka is the best species of coral, because its color is bright red, red is black, red is like pepper, and red is like cow blood, so people ask for Chili red to be called cow blood red, and people who don't know why say Aka color. In fact, among red corals, Aka, Momo Momo and Sardinia are all gem-grade corals, which are very precious because of their different material characteristics. They are used to make round beads, ring faces and sculptures respectively.
Aka looks like glass, more transparent than sardines and looks denser; Compared with Aka, Sardinia has fewer wormholes or white spots, and its surface is relatively smooth and waxy, while Momo is relatively light and its heart is white. The price of bovine blood red in Sardinia is neck and neck with the top grade Aka.
