Chapter 1137 Polishing and opening the window (for subscription)
"Didn't you hear what the anchor said, only things with something in them are worth money, and things with nothing in them are worthless."

"Xue Po? The name sounds very domineering!"

"The anchor means that there are enough of these things? But what's the use of this thing?"

"Amber...seems like it can be used as medicine?"

Li Yuan: "The value of amber is mainly judged by its fineness, whether there are insects in it, and whether the insects are intact. As for it can be used as medicine, this saying has indeed existed since ancient times."

In the Middle Ages, European physicians did prescribe amber to treat ulcers, migraines, insomnia, food poisoning, jaundice, infertility, malaria, asthma, tuberculosis, tumors and other diseases.

In Russia during the Tsarist period, people believed that wearing necklaces made of amber could keep the pain away from themselves and their children, while pregnant women wearing amber necklaces could be pregnant and help smooth delivery.

Children in Germany also wear amber necklaces around their necks in order to allow them to grow strong and healthy teeth without pain.

In modern times, the main function of amber is to make sesame oil and balm, or to put amber into alcohol soaked infusion for external application.

Today there are also various concoctions with amber as the main ingredient that are widely used to treat hyperthyroidism, respiratory diseases, bronchitis, asthma, heart disease, high blood pressure, bladder and gastrointestinal diseases, and some diseases in the blood circulation system.

In addition to being used as medicine, because of the fragrance of amber, amber has become a school of its own and is mostly worn as jewelry.

but……

Li Yuan suddenly thought of something.

"I remember that because of the process of its formation, blood amber is generally free of impurities. As for the color of this amber... why don't we take a look."

Blood-colored amber generally has few impurities, and the thicker the color, the less the number of impurities.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan couldn't help but took out the amber in his hand again and looked at it again.

Because it has been too long, and the pine resin that has just fallen is itself sticky, so when the amber was first discovered, there was a layer of black impurities on the outside of almost all of it.

The impurities in this layer of amber are also an important guarantee for protecting the inside of amber.

Just like the amber in Li Yuan's hand.

When Li Yuan just found out, the outermost layer of this piece of pine resin was also dark, and there were even some small cracks on it. Although Li Yuan said that the dust on the top layer had been cleaned up a lot, the impurities remained. a lot of.

However, Li Yuan could see from the cracks in the amber that the color inside the blood-colored amber was still very pure, and even through the cracks in the amber, he could still see the sunlight on the other side.

Although it wasn't the first time he saw amber, Li Yuan was looking forward to what the amber in his hand would look like inside.

After thinking about it, he took the amber and began to look around.

Li Yuan's sudden action obviously puzzled the fans in the live broadcast room.

"What is the anchor looking for?"

"Young Master Li, what new idea did you find?"

"How can I say that Amber said well, and I started looking for mushrooms again."

"Yeah, anchor, didn't you say you wanted to show us this piece of amber? We're still waiting here."

"Forget it, the idea of ​​the anchor is not something we ordinary people can guess. Just wait and see what the anchor is going to do."

On the side, the coal ball saw that his master seemed to be looking for something, so he came over wagging his tail.

A tree branch in his mouth for a while, and a wild flower picker wants to help, but obviously these things are not what Li Yuan wants.

Li Yuan: "What I want to do is to show you this amber, but the outer skin of this amber needs to be polished, otherwise it will be difficult to reveal the inner part."

"I am now looking for something that can polish this amber."

As soon as Li Yuan finished speaking, his eyes caught a glimpse of a stone on the ground.Looking at the stone, Li Yuan's eyes lit up.

"Well, I found it."

Li Yuan squatted down and picked up the stone next to the stump.

Even though it is in the mountains, in fact there are not so many rocks on the mountain. After all, unless there are some rocks, if it is in a large forest of such leaves, as time goes by, the fallen leaves will cover the ground. The stone was naturally buried below.

Li Yuan picked up the stone and looked at it, obviously a little dissatisfied.

Li Yuan: "This stone is a bit rough. Although it can be polished faster, it is easy to damage the amber."

Amber has low hardness, so it is very afraid of falling and bumping, so some people who play with amber know that amber must be stored separately, and it is strictly forbidden to put it together with diamonds, stones or other sharp or hard jewelry.

In addition, amber is also very afraid of high temperature, even the blood amber formed by the high temperature in Li Yuan's hands is the same.

Once amber is placed in the sun or by the stove for a long time, it is easy to crack because the air is too dry. It is best to maintain a constant temperature to ensure the integrity of amber.

So it is precisely because of this that the amber that is generally found is basically underground and underwater, so that the stability of amber can be maintained in such a place.

Rubbing amber with hard objects will also make the surface of amber rough and produce fine marks, so even cleaning amber with a hard object such as a brush or toothbrush will damage amber.

Therefore, generally when the amber is stained with dust and sweat, professionals soak the amber in warm water with a neutral detergent, and then rub it dry with your hands.

Even so, it needs to be wiped clean again with a soft cloth at the end, and then drip a small amount of olive oil or tea oil to wipe the amber surface lightly, and then use a cloth to wipe off the excess oil stains to restore its luster.

The maintenance of amber is a very particular thing, and Li Yuan's method of rubbing it with rough stones...

Obviously a bad idea.

However, Li Yuan was not too worried. After all, although this piece of amber is not small, and amber without insects, its value is not that high.

Li Yuan was originally curious about what it looked like inside, and didn't intend to completely wear off the amber skin, so he only needed to simply open a window.

If the movements were slower and more detailed, it would not have caused such great damage to Amber.

As Li Yuan thought about it, his hands started to move.

But... If Li Yuan knew what this thing looked like after it was released, I'm afraid he would really regret his random move.

Opening amber is a delicate task that requires slow and unhurried polishing.
