"African amber beeswax" can be found in Tanzania and Congo in Africa, and Kopal grease in Angola, which was formed about 5 million years ago, has basically formed fossils. But amber is not produced in Africa. Many explorers and scientists went to Africa to look for real African amber, but the result was in vain. The word "African amber" is just a synonym, but it is actually wrong. It also has other names: "Coba Oil Amber", "Antique Amber" and "Noble Beewax". They are actually synthetic products made in European countries and sold to Africa. They are bakelite products. According to different additives, it can be made into many colors. In fact, most of these goods were brought from Europe to African countries as "precious" gifts, and it is said that some of them flowed into Africa from Middle Eastern countries. African aborigines love colorful beads, exchange them for local ivory and other products, and then ship them to Africa in large quantities because many residents like them. Local residents think this is a very precious treasure, so they have passed it down from generation to generation. Today, these necklaces have returned to antique shops in Europe as African "amber" antique products, and even crossed the ocean to antique shops in other countries. This kind of imitation African "amber" has certain collection value in the sense of antiques because of its age. After all, it reflects the development of amber history. Today, with the development of science and technology, imitations of "African amber" have been copied into new varieties, flooding the domestic market. So-called "noble beeswax" has appeared in Taiwan Province Province, Hongkong, Chinese mainland and other places, raising the price with various excuses, which has deceived many collectors. They are opaque and transparent; Colorful colors, emerald, sky blue, purple and even pink, everyone loves them. The specific gravity of this imitation is about 1.2 1 to 1.3, which is much heavier than natural amber and will sink in the salt water test. Bake in a boiler at 180℃ for 10 ~ 20 minutes, the color will deepen and spread to the whole bead surface, but it will not melt. They are so hard that they are not fragile when they fall to the ground. To quote Li Jiangyan: The red necklace beads worn by my sister in amber are just matching beads!
