Nowadays, amber jewelry is popular in the society. Amber has always been a precious bracelet material. It is expensive, so don't buy it wrong.
First, the salt test method
The amber density is between 1.05 and 1.10. In 1:4 unsaturated brine, amber, lightweight plastic and resin can float, and ordinary plastic, glass, acrylic and bakelite sink.
Second, the knife needle test (please be careful)
Cutting amber with a paper cutter will become a powder, and the resin will fall off in a block. The plastic will be rolled into a roll and the glass will not be cut. Using a hard needle to puncture amber at a tip angle of 20 to 30 degrees will have a bursting sensation and very fine powder. If it is a plastic or other substance with different hardness, it will either stick or be sticky, or There is no other feature to tie directly into it.

Five, eye bubble
The bubbles in natural amber are mostly round, and the bubbles in pressed amber are mostly long and flat.
Six, the fragrance
In addition to the amber and shampoo friction with the skin will produce aroma, the other amber rubbing only a little bit of taste or simply no smell, only when burned will give off a loose fragrance. And many imitations are very fragrant.
Seven, ultraviolet radiation
Place the natural amber under the money detector, which will have fluorescence on it, usually in light green, green, blue, white and other colors. Among them, amber, gold pupa is the most obvious discoloration, blood smear and beeswax discoloration is not obvious, the more transparent the amber is more obvious.
