Insect Amber: Amber containing insect remains (and sometimes plant leaves). It is formed mostly on a hot summer day. The resin secreted from the pine trees flows out, just to stick the small insects on the pine trees, the resin then becomes solid, and the insects become amber in the amber resin.
Amber is a kind of non-quality organic matter. Its chemical composition is carbon, hydrogen and oxygen compounds which are not fixed in proportion. It is formed by the petrochemical action of coniferous plant resin, so it is produced in coal seam. It is usually yellow, brownish yellow or orange to red, transparent to translucent, resin luster or pearl luster, hardness 20-25, melting point 250-3000C. It is partially soluble in alcohol. Don't touch, bump, and heat when collecting and storing, and don't touch alcohol.
Amber has a variety of shapes, and the surface often retains the lines that were created when the resin flowed. Bubbles and ancient insects or plant debris are often seen inside. The color is generally yellow-red and transparent to the front. At 150 ° C, the amber will soften.
High quality amber can be processed into crafts, and quality can be used as chemical materials. Amber is a product of sedimentation and is mainly produced in sediments of the Cretaceous or Tertiary glutenite and coal seams. The price of amber varies from one to two hundred yuan to several thousand and several thousand yuan. Mainly look at the size and shape of amber. Insects such as insects in natural amber should be three-dimensional, ecologically natural and have a feeling of struggle. Some larger insects will have small bubbles that he will eventually breathe out in front of his mouth!
In China, high-quality insect amber is produced in the Fushun coalfield of Liaoning Province, and its geological age is the Paleogene and Neogene. Insect-containing amber is an ornamental stone with more ornamental and collectible value.
Someone asked, insects are wrapped in resin into amber, then it is well preserved in its appearance, to what extent is the internal decay? Or not rot?
In fact, this is very simple. If you have made insect specimens, you will know that the inside of small insects will quickly lose water, dry and not rot after death. Amber is the same principle. This is why the large insects rarely appear in amber.
