The second generation "beeswax" is made of broken materials and powder at 200℃-250℃.
Heating in vacuum at a certain temperature, melting and cooling, and then melting and pressing. After suppression, its nature is slightly different from nature itself.
The ingredients of the second-generation beeswax and baked beeswax are still natural, both of which are immersed in white water and can float in the salt water of 1: 4, and then they will have a fragrant pine fragrance when burned. Tested with nail polish remover, there will be no obvious discoloration.
However, the original color of the baked beeswax is definitely not ideal before baking. The pressed ones are processed with waste beeswax. These two are certainly not as natural as the collection value.
Beeswax is an opaque or translucent amber, which belongs to organic gemstones and its color is mainly yellow. Generally speaking, the more positive, thicker, deeper and more uniform the color of beeswax, the better the quality.
Beeswax can be divided into red, white and yellow according to color. If subdivided, it can be divided into white beeswax, white beeswax, lemon yellow beeswax, goose yellow beeswax, yellow beeswax, chicken oil yellow beeswax, brown yellow beeswax, brown red beeswax, bordeaux beeswax and so on.
In terms of rarity, red beeswax is the rarest, white beeswax, chicken oil yellow beeswax and brown beeswax are relatively rare, while white beeswax, lemon yellow beeswax, goose yellow beeswax and yellow beeswax are more common.
Question 2: Can the second generation beeswax be seen on your hand? Honey, the second-generation beeswax on your hand is not easy to see.
The second generation beeswax is made by vacuum heating crushed beeswax blocks or powder at 200℃-250℃, melting and cooling, and then melting and pressing. After pressing, their properties are slightly different from natural ones, but because their raw materials are also natural, it is difficult for even some experienced people to identify them accurately if the technology is good. This kind of beeswax usually needs the help of professional detection instruments, such as expensive infrared spectrometer and electron probe instrument.
Of course, the second-generation beeswax also has some distinctive features, such as unnatural texture and regular trend. In addition, the gloss of suppressing beeswax is also worse. After playing on the hand plate for a period of time, you will find that the beads are a little black and filamentous. These dark filaments (briquettes and briquettes, briquettes and liquid boundaries) will feel "astringent".
Natural beeswax, optimized beeswax and second-generation beeswax are all floating in saturated salt water because their components have not changed.
Question 3: What does the second generation of beeswax mean? It is a high-temperature boiled and baked beeswax, which is artificially treated.
Question 4: How to distinguish the first generation from the second generation of beeswax brine test method: The density of amber is between 1.05- 1. 10. In 1: 4 (salt: water) saturated brine, amber, light plastic and resin can float, while ordinary plastic, glass, acrylic and bakelite sink.
Hot test: the needle is burned in an inconspicuous place of amber, with a faint pine fragrance. Bakelite and plastic smell pungent and stick to needles.
Knife cutting needle test: amber will be pulverized when it is cut by paper cutter, resin will fall off in pieces, plastic will be rolled, and glass will not be cut. When you flush amber with a hard needle at an angle of 20-30 degrees from the horizontal line, you will feel explosive and there will be very fine powder residue. If it is plastic or other substances with different hardness, it will not stick, or it will feel sticky, or even stick in.
Nail polish washing liquid: wipe the amber surface repeatedly with a cotton swab, with no obvious change. Plastics, pressure and amber have not changed, but resin and Coba butter will be corroded because they are not petrified, resulting in sticking pits. Rosin will melt slowly when it is soaked in liquid medicine.
Handle: Amber is a neutral organic gem, which is not very hot in summer and not too cold in winter, so it is very gentle. Use glass or chalcedony to prevent feeling cold and heavy.
Visual inspection: This is the most important method to identify amber inlay. Amber usually has beautiful scales of lotus leaves, which have different feelings from different angles, have different refraction and emit spiritual light. The transparency of fake amber is generally not high, and the scales emit dead light, which is similar from different angles and lacks the aura of amber. The scales and patterns in fake amber are mostly injection molded, so most of them are the same. The most common one on the market is the red scale.
Bubbles: Bubbles in amber are mostly round, while bubbles in pressed amber are mostly long and flat.
Ultraviolet irradiation: put amber under the money detector, it will have fluorescence, light green, green, blue, white and so on. Amber and Jin Po have the most obvious discoloration, while blood amber and beeswax have no obvious discoloration. The more transparent it is, the more obvious it is, and the plastic will not change color.
Aroma: Amber has only a faint smell, and it can hardly be smelled when rubbed, or it can't be smelled at all, but amber with skin will produce fragrance when rubbed, and Xiangpo friction will produce fragrance. Amber only gives off a loose fragrance when it burns.
Sound test: Amber beads without inlay will make a soft and slightly dull sound when rubbed gently in your hands. If they are plastic or resin, the sound will be crisp.
Friction with static electricity: Amber can attract small pieces of paper after rubbing on clothes.
Question 5: What is the second generation beeswax? Hello!
The second-generation beeswax is made by vacuum heating, melting, cooling, melting and pressing beeswax chips or powder (block pressing, powder pressing or mixed pressing) at the temperature of 200℃-250℃. After pressing, the properties of beeswax are slightly different from those of natural beeswax, but its chemical composition and mechanical properties are basically unchanged because its raw material is beeswax. For example, the second-generation beeswax can float in saturated salt water, and it has a pine fragrance, which is not easy to distinguish, especially for those with good processing technology, even for some experienced people.
Of course, the second-generation beeswax also has some distinctive features, such as unnatural texture and regular trend. In addition, the gloss of suppressing beeswax is also worse. After playing on the hand plate for a period of time, you will find that the beads are a little black and filamentous. These dark filaments (briquettes and briquettes, briquettes and liquid boundaries) will feel "astringent".

Question 6: What does the second generation beeswax mean? Is the second generation beeswax valuable? The second generation beeswax refers to the beeswax that is cemented with the beeswax fragments after reheating, and belongs to the reconstructed beeswax.
Question 7: What does the second generation beeswax mean? Is the second generation beeswax a fake? The second-generation beeswax is something synthesized by (pressing) or (recycling), which is the product of melting the broken beeswax at high temperature. Its raw material is beeswax, but it is artificial, and some chemicals will be added during processing.
The second-generation beeswax is strictly a fake, and its price is much cheaper than that of natural beeswax.
But now the second-generation beeswax is also fake. Many people will pretend to be the second-generation beeswax with things like plastic and resin, so that they can earn more.
If you just wear it without collecting it or have limited economic conditions, the second-generation beeswax is also a good choice, but don't buy fakes such as plastic resin, which is really worthless.
Question 8: Is this natural beeswax or second-generation beeswax? How to tell? 20 minutes, because the picture is not clear, it is difficult to judge whether these two-handed cymbals are natural beeswax, but they are definitely not the second generation. The second generation beeswax is made by pressing broken beeswax blocks or powder, or by heating the broken materials and powder in vacuum at 200℃-250℃, melting and cooling, and then merging and pressing. In this way, the colors are usually uniform and the appearance is good, and there will be no difference like the samples.
The properties of pressed beeswax are slightly different from nature itself, but because its raw materials are also natural, it is difficult to distinguish them by simple amber test. Of course, the second-generation beeswax also has some remarkable characteristics, such as very uniform color, unnatural texture and regular trend. The phenomenon of mixed grain, feather grain and eight-character grain can be found by playing the light transmission map. In addition, the gloss of pressing beeswax is also worse. After playing with your hand for a period of time, you will find some dark filaments (the dividing line between pressing block and pressing block, pressing block and liquid), which will feel "astringent". Of course, this requires some experience.
My humble opinion, for reference only!
Question 9: What is the difference between raw ore beeswax and second generation beeswax? The differences are as follows:
Stirring lines, the second generation generally has stirring lines, some of which are not obvious with a magnifying glass, and the first generation lines are natural.
Heat treatment: the second generation generally has thermal radiation traces, which need to be confirmed by the machine.
Morphology: the second generation has obvious mass boundary, which is rare in the first generation.
Question 10: What is the difference between the primary mineral beeswax and the second generation beeswax? Raw mineral beeswax is a kind of natural beeswax. The second generation is actually modern plastics. Now it is impossible to determine the authenticity of amber beeswax by observing the lines, salt water and fluorescence test.
If you must be sure, you'd better find a qualified appraisal agency to test it.
Simply put, you can also buy 200-mesh sandpaper and find a hidden place to wipe it a little. If it is genuine, it will have a special pine fragrance. Remember to polish with high mesh sandpaper after polishing. It won't leave too many marks. The land of amber (Taobao) is pure natural amber beeswax in Denmark, without optimization.
