To say that the main difference between amber and beeswax is the different succinic acid content, which leads to their different transparency, so we put transparent amber and opaque (succinic acid content >; 8%) is called beeswax, so beeswax is an opaque amber.

But that's just what they call it in China. In fact, it is the same abroad. It's called amber.

Next, let's take a concrete look:

Comparison of physical and chemical compositions:

Amber and beeswax have no difference in physical and chemical composition! It is a kind of natural resin fossil secreted by conifers 40 million to 60 million years ago, and it is buried deep underground after the crust changes.

In a narrow sense, according to transparency, transparent is called "amber", and opaque, honey-like, waxy luster texture is called "beeswax".

Broadly speaking, according to the relationship between inclusions and inclusions, beeswax is a kind of amber, which conforms to all definitions of amber.

Amber and beeswax belong to the relationship between inclusion and inclusion, and the name amber is more official, which explains why amber is uniformly written on the jewelry appraisal certificate regardless of amber or beeswax.
