1. Different geological ages. Fushun amber was in the Cretaceous coal seam more than 50 million years ago. Baltic amber is not as old as Fushun amber, and its geological age is not uniform.
2. The reasons are different. Fushun amber is a sedimentary deposit, while Baltic amber is a sand deposit.
3. Different colors. Fushun amber is generally dark and changeable in color due to tree species, geothermal and minerals, and Baltic amber is generally lighter than Fushun amber.
Insects have different shapes and kinds. Some insect species in Fushun amber are unique to Fushun. The insects in Fushun amber are relatively dry because of their age, while the insects in Baltic amber are fuller than those in Fushun amber because of their age.
5. Academic research has different values. Study on the endemic insect species in Fushun.
6. The collection value is different. Fushun amber production is less than Baltic amber production.
7. The degree of petrochemical is different.
8. In addition, amber fakes are mostly made of amber powder and resin glue, or all of them are made of resin. Generally, they have poor transparency, turbidity and no pearl luster. Real Fushun amber usually takes a long time (10 years, 8 years) to change color slightly. Generally, the color will get darker and darker, while the color change of fake amber will change greatly in a short time.
Amber is afraid of heat and cannot be exposed to the sun. Amber is fragile, so it should be prevented from hitting the ground. Transparent pure green and red amber are high quality products, which are rare. Transparent bright yellow amber is a common variety with low price. Most amber will emit light white, light blue or light yellow fluorescence under long-wave ultraviolet light; Similar fluorescence will be emitted under short-wave ultraviolet light, but the light is weak. Surface treatment may make amber lose its fluorescent effect.
Therefore, some people say that there are few Fushun amber natural products on the market now, but if some people say that Fushun amber is synonymous with inferior products, I think it is inappropriate. Fushun natural amber products have real collection value, because things are rare. Fushun amber is graded. The higher the grade, the higher the purity and the higher the price.
