What is beeswax

What is beeswax? Since ancient times, beeswax has been loved by royalty, nobles, collectors, and people all over the world. It has not only been used as a decoration, neck ornaments, etc., but also because of its mysterious power, it has been praised and praised.


It is the blessing of ornaments and religions used by the royal family in the past, which gives the wearer and collectors unparalleled luck and wealth. Therefore, Europe has always said that "millennium amber, million years of beeswax". In this century, beeswax has set off a global collection boom and its value has been rising. The texture and glamour of beeswax is comparable to diamonds and jade. Its mysterious power and spirituality are not available in other jewels. It is the most beautiful and precious jewel. Although in history, humans have discovered and used beeswax very early, they have very limited knowledge of what the waxes and their origins are, and even some of them are fundamentally wrong. The beeswax is always covered with a thick layer. veil. Until modern times, after the development of modern sciences such as chemistry, physics and geology, human beings used the scientific knowledge and means to uncover the mystery of beeswax.

Geological studies have shown that in the Eocene and Cretaceous years between 30 and 40 million years ago, there were many conifers on the earth: pine and maple, which were fatty liquids in a geological period. Excited by the outside world, a large amount of fat liquid was secreted on the ground, and buried deep underground with the change of geological layers. After more than three or four thousand years of formation pressure and heat, these fat liquids were petrified into beeswax mines. Geological studies have also shown that beeswax was first formed in the Cretaceous period about 100 million years ago, and at the latest in the Miocene around 20 million years ago, the beeswax formed in the Miocene has been relatively soft (more Minneapolis honey wax is one of them). After that, due to the reduction of coniferous forests and the lack of petrification time, and the formation movement gradually stabilized, the formation of beeswax became less and less.

After the formation of beeswax, in the long years, experienced various kinds of tempering of crust movement, sun and rain, glacial river impact, and some exposed the surface, and some buried underground. The beeswax exposed on the surface, some were washed into the sea to become Haipo, and some were washed into the lake to become lakes, and then buried into the underground to become a mine, (multiple in sedimentary strata and coal-bearing strata). In the long process of the formation process and the subsequent years, beeswax has been affected by environmental factors such as surrounding soil and water, inorganic matter, sunlight, geothermal and other environmental factors. In addition to the matrix is ​​still resin (already petrified), other such as color, specific gravity, Hardness and melting point, etc., have produced certain differences, which are very mysterious and very mysterious. The ancients could not always obtain a reasonable explanation. Only modern chemistry and physics opened up the mysteries and analyzed the mystery.

The beeswax is amorphous, has no fixed internal atomic structure and external shape, and the fracture is often in the form of a shell layer with a refractive index ranging from 1.54 to 1.55. Birefringence is not applicable. Physical examination, the specific gravity of beeswax is between 1.05 and 1.10, only slightly larger than water, so some tissues that are looser and contain no other minerals can float in water (English wax Amber word from Arabia) The original meaning of the text is "floating in water". The beeswax friction generates an electrostatic charge, which can absorb slight items such as paper and iron filings. Some of them do not rub and have static charges, and they have the feeling of "hands-on".
