The reason for the formation of beeswax is in China. From ancient times to the present, beeswax has several different names, such as amber, amber, beeswax, jade, Zhu Jiang, Dunmou, Yu Pei, red rosin and so on, and there are also different places of origin and times. But now beeswax and amber refer to different minerals, and the mineralization year of beeswax is more than 20 million years or even 654.38+0 billion years.
Geological research shows that many conifers, such as conifers and maples, grew on the earth in Eocene and Cretaceous from 30 million to/kloc-0.0 billion years ago. These trees were strongly stimulated by the outside world in a certain geological period, and secreted a lot of fat liquid, which fell to the ground with the change of geological layer and was buried deep underground. After more than 30,000 to 40,000 years of formation pressure and heat, these fatty liquids were petrified into beeswax mines. Geological research also shows that beeswax was first formed in Cretaceous about 1 100 million years ago, and was formed in Miocene about 20 million years ago at the latest. The beeswax formed in Miocene is already very soft (Dominican beeswax is one of them). Later, due to the sharp decline of coniferous forests, the lack of petrochemical time and the gradual stability of stratigraphic movement, the formation of beeswax became less and less.
After the formation of beeswax, in the long years, it has experienced various tempering of crustal movement, sun and rain, and impact of glaciers and rivers. Some of them are exposed on the surface and some are buried underground. Some beeswax exposed to the surface is washed into the sea to become Haizhu, some into the lake to become lake beads, and then buried underground to become mineral beads (mostly in sedimentary strata and coal measures strata). Beeswax has undergone various changes during its formation and in the long years since, due to environmental factors such as soil, water, organic matter, inorganic matter, sunlight, geothermal and so on. In addition to the matrix or resin (petrochemical), other things such as color, specific gravity, hardness and melting point have some differences, which are very mysterious. The ancients could never get a reasonable explanation. Only modern chemistry and physics have revealed the mystery and analyzed it.
In China, beeswax has several different names since ancient times, such as amber, amber, beeswax, jade, Zhu Jiang, Dunmu, Yu Pei and red rosin, among which there are also differences in place and time.
Brief introduction of beeswax beeswax is a kind of beeswax, which has a loose and amorphous structure, contains no other minerals and can float in water. The English word beeswax and amber comes from Arabic. Floating in the water? ). The friction of beeswax produces electrostatic charge, which can absorb paper, iron filings and other tiny items. Some of them are not rubbed but also have electrostatic charges. Take a sip of your hand? This feeling.
In China, beeswax has several different names since ancient times, such as amber, amber, beeswax, jade, Zhu Jiang, Dunmou, Yu Pei and red rosin, among which there are dozens of different places of origin and times. But now, on the basis of the increasingly fine amber market, the branch of beeswax has been divided again. Like other kinds of copper, the petrochemical year ranges from 20 million to 50 million years, from 60 million years to 1 100 million years. The common minerals in the market are those that have been petrified for 20 million to 50 million years. The longer the petrochemical year, the rarer it is and the more valuable it is.
Only translucent to opaque amber is called beeswax. The colors of beeswax are mainly yellow, such as egg white, beige, light yellow, chicken oil yellow and orange. It is basically a kind of amber produced in the Baltic Sea. Jujube red beeswax is dark because of the patina produced by the oxidation of yellow beeswax skin. Because of this, there are many artificially processed and oxidized jujube red or darker beeswax in the market.
The most common beeswax is mainly yellow beeswax produced in the Baltic region. Common yellow, white and even translucent are called half honey and half beads. There are yellow shadows. Old beeswax is usually dark yellow, and some are even red. Most products produced in Myanmar are amber, but there are also a few rare beeswax. Fushun, China also produces some, but it has almost dried up in recent years. There are many colors of beeswax, all because of the different minerals buried in the geology. These rare beeswax were formed 40 million to 50 million years ago, even 1 100 million years ago. However, their quantity is very rare, and they have extremely high collection value.
According to geological research, 30 million to 1 100 million years ago, the resin of conifers and maples in Eocene and Cretaceous was petrified by geological changes. Geological changes make different external environment and material components constitute many different varieties and colorful and mysterious changes of beeswax. Beeswax is a precious natural treasure endowed by nature. Its formation process has to go through tens of millions of years, during which it has experienced vicissitudes and added countless magnificent colors. The magical change of beeswax makes it almost identical, as if everything in the world is unique. Its beauty and magic always give people some surprises. Besides, beeswax is delicate in texture, and its tentacles are moist and firm (which is quite like China nephrite), unlike ordinary gems, it lacks a human touch.
As one of the organic minerals, beeswax is rich in texture, colorful, widely used and of excellent value, and enjoys the same enjoyment as other natural gems? Earth star? The reputation of.
Beeswax contains countless colors, some transparent and bright, some translucent, some opaque but colorful. If transparent is illuminated by light, there are often many colors. Since ancient times, beeswax has been loved by the world. People praise it regardless of national boundaries, race, class, culture, religion and background, and regard it as a treasure for a long time.
Beeswax symbolizes eternal lovers and constantly exudes inexplicable charm. I am willing to write thousands of love poems for it every day to express my eager pursuit and wholeheartedly cherish it. No matter where I am, the reputation of beeswax is as pure, beautiful and perfect as itself.
The role of beeswax beeswax is a non-renewable gem, which is relatively rare and valuable for collection. At the same time, beeswax has a strong aesthetic feeling and can be made into decorations. With ornamental collection value, it is often polished into beads and strung into bracelets or necklaces, beads and so on. Because some materials are beautiful in appearance, many people use them for decoration. It is also used for pleasure, beauty, disease prevention and treatment, and self-cultivation. In ancient China, beeswax was regarded as auspicious by the royal family. Newborns can take refuge and eliminate disasters by wearing it, and they will be safe all their lives. In our country, it can keep the bride young and the husband and wife harmonious at the weddings of some ethnic minorities. Beeswax is one of the five treasures of traditional Chinese medicine. Wearing it on hands can relieve rheumatic bone pain, nasal sensitivity, stomach pain, hypertension and skin sensitivity. It is recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica, Dictionary of New Traditional Chinese Medicine and Seeking Truth from Materia Medica. After wearing it, the body will slowly absorb it and run through the blood to eliminate the disease. Beeswax has different effects according to different regions, colors and varieties.
Maintenance of beeswax 1. Beeswax, like amber, is fragile and has low hardness, so it should not be impacted by external forces. Friction and scratches should be avoided to prevent scratches and breakage.
2, beeswax jewelry should be stored separately, not with other sharp or hard jewelry such as diamonds.
3. Beeswax is afraid of strong acid and alkali, and is easily soluble in organic solvents. Try not to touch organic solutions such as alcohol, gasoline and kerosene.
4, beeswax has a low melting point, easy to melt, afraid of exposure, afraid of high temperature, do not expose to the sun for a long time or put it next to the heater, too dry and easy to crack.
5, the best maintenance is long-term wear, body oil can make beeswax brighter and brighter.
6, beeswax is easy to dehydrate, too dry and easy to crack, try to use closed plastic bags for separate collection when not in use.
7. Be sure to use a special jewelry cleaning solution for cleaning.
Further requirements and attention can be observed as follows: (1) There is greasy light outside and pure and precious light inside; There are spun silk, moire, tiger pattern, weathering pattern and ice crack; Hole oxidation, gold scattering in the core or explosion; Elves that respond to light have two or more colors; Beautiful colors, bright colors, or simple but not dry, vaguely showing oily and flexible luster; Light and shadow shine, like nothing, like mountains and rivers, and the realm is strange. Furthermore, if it is beaded, it is best to choose the one with the same variety, color, shape and size? Holding hands? Commodities.
Beeswax contains great effects of matter and soul, which is incomparable to ordinary jewelry. Only by revealing its various values in depth can the characteristics and functions of beeswax not be buried, and the intimate relationship between human beings and beeswax from ancient times to the present can be explained.
The close relationship with human beings for thousands of years has made beeswax a cultural carrier of history and reality and a noble, noble and cultured part of all mankind. Promoting beeswax should be one of the meaningful social and cultural activities. In fact, more and more people know, love, wear and collect beeswax. However, due to the proliferation of counterfeit goods and products in the market, ordinary consumers and even experienced collectors are often deceived, which not only loses money, but also greatly reduces their interest in buying. Real beeswax has many colors, different prices, different personal preferences and uses, and needs to be selected according to different hobbies, uses and purchasing power. And those with the following characteristics should all be good goods: natural (non-artificial, recycled), pure (no counterfeiting, no adulteration), antique (hand-made, with a long history and few fakes), good quality (such as smooth, uniform and crystal clear texture), true color (non-artificial dyeing and coloring) and intact (no crack or damage). Defects caused by hand-made, primitive and rough tools, or years of friction marks between natural sand holes and beads are not a big problem) and rare (rare varieties, special shapes, long history, etc.). ), you can buy with confidence.
