The live broadcast life of Lao Linzi in Northeast China

Chapter 1139 Thousand-year amber, ten-thousand-year beeswax (for subscription)

"What the hell, I can't see anything here!"

"It's not so bad, the anchor, your method doesn't work either."

"It's been more than half a day, and we haven't seen anything yet, otherwise we'll go up the mountain first, and we can do it when we get back."

"It's been more than ten minutes, and there is still no progress at all. Can you do it, the anchor!"

"Men can't say no, don't you know?! Come on, anchor, you can do it!"

"It's just a piece of amber. What's there to see? I don't know what you are looking forward to here."

In the live broadcast room at this moment, it is obvious that many people have begun to wait a little anxiously, but most of them were still aroused by Li Yuan's curiosity, wanting to see what it looks like in the amber.

Or... Could it also wrap some insects?
But obviously this idea is a bit extravagant. After all, not all ambers have such good luck and can have the opportunity to carry history.

Li Yuan continued to polish it carefully, and the window area of ​​the amber was getting bigger and bigger.

In just a short while, Li Yuan had polished off one-third of the black skin, and the amber, which was originally the size of a fist, had been polished down a circle by Li Yuan's effort.

However, Li Yuan's original intention to polish the amber was just to see if the inside of the amber was as transparent as he thought, so half of it was opened, which was naturally enough.

Looking at the amber in his hand, Li Yuan decided to start the finishing part.

Li Yuan: "The size of the amber window is enough. Let's wash it with water to see if it's as transparent as I said."

"Amber itself is a relatively valuable thing. If the transparency is good enough, this size, it is no problem to go back and make a bracelet."

"Now, don't many people like to wear amber bracelets and beeswax bracelets? Although this amber bracelet is not as precious as beeswax bracelets, at least this thing is real, but amber is not very strong. , you have to be careful with the service."

Everyone was a little surprised when they heard Li Yuan's statement.

"This amber... can also string beads?"

"Amber can also be worn as a bracelet, is it true?"

"Then which one is more valuable, amber or beeswax?"

"Speaking of this amber and beeswax... it seems to be quite similar. I remember that amber is also made of oil, right?"

"It must be beeswax that is valuable! Thousand-year-old amber, ten-thousand-year beeswax, have you never heard of this?"

As for the two things of amber and beeswax, although everyone has heard of them more or less individually, few people really associate these two things together.

But then again...

The relationship between these two things is indeed unusual.

Amber and beeswax are like the relationship between Hetian jade and suet white jade.

Amber is actually a kind of resin buried under the ground for a long time, and such objects are usually collectively referred to as amber.

As for beeswax, it is actually a type of amber. It is a liquefied fossil formed from precious tree resin, so its hardness is much higher than that of amber.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that amber and beeswax belong to the same family.

Li Yuan: "This netizen is right. The so-called thousand-year-old amber is ten thousand-year-old beeswax. Beeswax is also a kind of amber, and the time and process of its formation are more demanding than amber."

"Only amber with a color like honey and a delicate luster like wax is worthy of the name beeswax. However, beeswax is not only yellow, the common ones on the market are also brown. Beeswax, but brown beeswax is cheaper than yellow."

"In addition to the two colors of yellow and brown, there is actually a color of beeswax that is colored, but colored beeswax is very rare, and the price is ridiculously high. As far as I know... now only A piece of colored beeswax with a diameter of more than ten centimeters was unearthed, and it has been collected in a museum, other than that, it has never been heard of such a large colored beeswax.”

Studio.

"The anchor said that the piece of colored beeswax was unearthed...it should have been more than ten years ago, right? I remember it caused a sensation!"

"After being said by the anchor, I seem to be a little impressed."

"The value of this thing is so high? Can it be collected in a museum?"

"If you put it that way...then amber is really incomparable to beeswax."

"The price of beeswax has never been cheap. A random piece of colored beeswax can cost at least five figures. Amber can't compare to this."

Li Yuan shook his head.

"This friend's statement is actually not very accurate. In fact, not only beeswax, but amber also has colorful colors."

"Although the price of colorful amber may not be higher than that of beeswax of the same volume, the main difference between these two items...is actually their value."

"Actually, for beeswax, it has only slowly become popular in the past ten years, while amber has been popular for many years."

"The reason why beeswax is expensive is that beeswax is made of pine, cypress and maple resin in the Eocene and Cretaceous ages from 4000 to 500 million years ago to 7000 million years ago, and slowly petrified through geological changes. And for amber The formation year is only [-] million years, a full difference of [-] million years..."

"So following the principle that what is rare is the most valuable, less beeswax is naturally much more expensive than ordinary amber. For example, the price of the same twelve-bead beeswax bracelet may be between 2000 and [-]. time, and an amber bracelet of the same grade can be won for only one or two thousand yuan."

"However, for these two things, amber has one thing that beeswax can never replace...that is its permeability."

"The most fundamental reason why beeswax is opaque is that it contains more succinic acid, while amber becomes more transparent because it contains less succinic acid."

"And this kind of permeability also leads to fossils inside. Amber can make perfect use of its permeability to exert its value, or be brought back to the laboratory to study its structure and preserve the most complete ancient fossils. Or it can be made into an ornament as a tool for appreciation."

"As for beeswax... besides for entertainment, it really has no other scientific use value."

Studio.

"What the anchor said makes sense. Think about it this way... Beeswax really isn't very useful except for wearing it."

"One has appearance, and the other has content, I like both, haha!"

"Ditto, as long as I have one, don't choose!"

"Isn't it? I remember hearing a blogger mention it before, saying that beeswax will become transparent after wearing it for a long time!"

"Yes, I really think about it and vaguely remember that the beeswax seems to change after wearing it for a long time."
