What is sea amber?

Amber drifting in the sea, as the name implies, is amber drifting in the sea. The scientific name should be Haipo, and insiders also like to call it Hai Piao. Regarding the formation of floating amber, many people think that it is the same as the formation of seed material, but it is not. Generally speaking, seed material means that the ore is washed into an oval shape by seawater, while the shape of floating seed material is not washed out by seawater. Let's talk about how the sea drift amber is formed.

The formation process of sea drift amber has been introduced in some foreign translation books. The sea drift seed material is directly dropped into the mud with resin, because the soil is too wet and soft, so the resin remains intact. Resin has been dried and solidified in silt to form ore. The silt dried up to form a mining area, and the last geological change turned it into Wang Yang. The sea washed away the ore belt, and finally these well-formed "brain honey" were able to see the light of day again.

Because of the particularity of the formation of floating amber, the resin drips directly and there is no accumulation process, so it is generally small. In fact, if you look closely, you will find that these circular drifts are not complete and round, and most of them are more like a comma, that is, there is a small tip on the circle. This is also a good basis for judging the natural sea drift seed material, because the resin has a high viscosity and is affected by gravity in the dropping process, so it is in this form. A special amber form in the Baltic Sea, which is directly petrified by a drop of intact resin and washed away by seawater for thousands of years; Ordinary amber is mined from coastal mines. Compared with ordinary raw materials, the shape of sea drift is full and round, many of them are water drops with sharp points and round bottoms, and many lines with brains are also called brain materials. Sea drift is a rare granular amber, which is suitable for bracelets or direct collection. It's very pleasant. Due to the small output of this rough stone, its value is much higher than that of raw materials with the same specifications.
