In fact, I didn't want to reply to this post at first, because the cost technology is new every day, and the identification method can't be eaten all over the world. Therefore, the average player can't completely test the authenticity of a piece of beeswax except sending it to an authoritative appraisal agency for appraisal. Of course, old players need some experience and foundation to be able to see the authenticity at a glance.

Just like more than a dozen methods, such as salt water test, flame test and purple light lamp, which are widely rumored on the Internet, they cannot be distinguished. These methods can only rule out the possibility of counterfeiting, and can't be said to express natural beeswax.

Below I will introduce some false identification of beeswax in the past two years, of course, for reference only. Welcome suggestions, exchange and learn together.

First: the second generation of artificial synthesis

As the name implies, the second-generation synthesis is to dissolve some scraps cut from the finished beeswax and then carry out plastic synthesis. The second generation beeswax is characterized by friction, fragrance dispersion and saltwater floating. So how to distinguish? Let's take a look at the picture below.

I don't know if you can tell the difference, but it's through the line. Many friends privately think that it is difficult for me to distinguish my lines. These two lines are completely different. The grain of natural beeswax is very cloud-like and irregular. The lines of the second generation beeswax are exactly the same, very regular. The lines are filiform and have a certain centripetal force. You can enlarge the picture and experience it up close. Of course, you can also talk about me in private. I can talk to you in more detail.

Second: baking color

Baking is an optimization method of beeswax, but it can't be said to be cost, because baking beeswax can also be used as a voucher in the national inspection center. Many beeswax have been baked, but the market value of baking beeswax is far lower than that of natural beeswax. Now many merchants in the market will give baking beeswax as a natural beeswax to players and friends. Baked beeswax has the same characteristics as natural beeswax except color. So how can you tell the difference between baking beeswax and baking beeswax?

You should be very clear when you look at the comparison chart. To put it bluntly, the baked beeswax is black and hard. Unbaked beeswax has a natural aura and a very moist color.

Third: Fat.

Cocoa gum is an unexpired resin, which usually has a history of about 3 million years. Basically, it can be distinguished by friction, because the smell of copal grease is an oil smell, which is obvious. So in this case, there is no need to distinguish between lines and colors.

Of course, I sincerely wish the friends of beeswax not to buy fakes.
