    The purchase and investment of beeswax
    Is when buying or investing in beeswax, they should know that their main origin is usually divided into five areas.

    Puki is called Simetite in Sicily. The Rumanite produced in Romania is darker and ancient, with more sulfur -containing chemicals. Among them, the previous world is the least. The Mediterranean region and Russian production areas are abundant, and those with good quality and transparent are precious. The Asian production area is mainly Myanmar, called Burmite. Dominica, which is mainly produced with the West Indian Islands, is mainly produced in Morocco and South Africa. As for the Soviet Union, Japan, Canada, South Korea, and Spain, it mainly produces recent natural resin. Usually we buy amber and beeswax bracelets or neck skewers. We should pay special attention to whether the variety, texture, color, and models of each bead should be the same. If the same, it is commonly known as qi. Quality and color are the most important. It should be pure, natural, fine, and uniform, and it is better to integrate.

    The old varieties and old workers can't help but have long -term retention and weathering patterns, and even have a little defect of the hole in the pore oxidation. Because they make beads on their hands, there are inevitable differences in the size and shape of each one, especially each bead hole is not like it. Essence (Modern plastic imitation also has irregular size).

    Sewers of some old varieties because of excessive oxidation on the surface, so the merchant re -polished the light to attract buyers, but the weathered patterns of some ancient rare treasures have been polished. Drilling bigger.

    The general neck skewers can be connected with dark brown nylon rope or coffee nylon rope (those who must be mixed with hemp quality). If it is a variety with high transparency, you should carefully choose the color of the rope to avoid affecting the real color reconciliation of the amber itself.

    The real old beeswax is not much of the world. It is not convenient to trade and communicate, and it is not recognized by the international community. From the perspective of market perspective, the value of collection value Great than the value of market trading. The meaning of this means, don't let go of the best.
    The role of beeswax
