Extended data:

In amber collections, the basic components and formation process of beeswax and amber are basically the same, and they are both fossil resins. The resins were buried underground tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years ago to form organic minerals. The biggest difference between them is the difference in succinic acid content.

When the content of succinic acid is less than 4%, it is transparent, generally called amber. When the succinic acid content is between 4% and 8%, it is cloudy and translucent, which is generally called Jindi beeswax, gold beeswax or crystal beeswax. When succinic acid exceeds 8%, it presents opaque foam, which is called beeswax.

The content of succinic acid varies with the geographical environment around the deposit, so a completely transparent amber can gradually become beeswax through certain environmental changes. Of course, by playing with beeswax, the succinic acid contained in it will slowly decompose and may gradually become transparent amber.

In addition, four or five provinces in China produce amber, but few of them can reach the international level. Fushun, Liaoning Province is a world-famous amber producing area and the only insect amber producing area in China. Fushun amber is a unique mineral resource in Fushun West Open-pit Coal Mine, which is rich in variety, tough in texture, bright in color and rare in output. Mainly used for making carving crafts and jewelry.
