3. 20 1 1 When exploring the Millennium ancient city at the bottom of Qiandao Lake, we found a lot of amber. Amber has also been found in many mountains around Qiandao Lake.
Amber is a kind of transparent biological fossil, which is the resin fossil of Pinaceae, Pistaceae, Taxodiaceae and other plants. Resin drips and leaks, buried underground for thousands of years, and becomes fossils under the action of pressure and heat, some of which contain small insects such as bees, which is very unusual. Amber is mostly formed by resin fossils of Pinaceae plants, so it is also called "turpentine fossil".
Amber has a variety of shapes, and the surface and interior often retain the lines produced when the resin flows, and bubbles and ancient insect, animal or plant remains can often be seen inside.
Common amber types: Jin Po, Jinlanpo, Green Tea Slope, Black Tea Slope, Blood Slope, Plum Slope, Brown Red Slope, Blue Slope, Green Slope, Insect Slope, Beewax, Pergen, Myanmar Root Slope, etc.

Identification method.
Precious amber is highly transparent and insect-like, and there are grades according to the cleanliness, shape and size of insects. Amber with insects is used to make face stones and chest pendants, which is of high value. The best grade can be listed as gems. Golden yellow and yellow-red amber are the top grade. Amber with many cracks, soft texture, dull color or similar color to ordinary stone is of no use value.
Eliminating the false and retaining the true is the main purpose of distinguishing amber from other jewels and jade. Therefore, it is particularly important to understand the characteristics of real amber and its imitations. There are several kinds of imitations: glass, plastic, resin (resin with insufficient years, such as Barker resin) and synthetic. Imitations are called imitations because they imitate some characteristics of the real thing, and are similar to the real thing in perception, feel and feel, which makes inexperienced people mistake it for the real thing.
