As for the hand string of red sandalwood, the most concern of novice friends is the issue of authenticity. So do you know how to identify the true and false of red sandalwood? What are the methods of hand string identification of red sandalwood.
1. Cowhide pattern: the most remarkable feature of the hand string of red sandalwood is cowhide pattern, which is generally curved and becomes Qumei, which is the first standard to judge whether it is true or not.
2. Brown eye: the brown eye of red sandalwood is generally formed after hundreds of years. It seems that it is a small conduit, whose cross-section is brown eye, and the most important thing is to be small. Red sandalwood has no big brown eye.
3. Density: the same volume, the heavier the mass, the higher the density. Gram weight is the standard to reflect the density of red sandalwood. It's usually weighed by a platform scale. But in the same volume, where is the density difference? The difference is in oil property and the difference is in fine density. The fine density of new material is different from that of old material. Different oiliness. (but note: many electrons are not accurate. It must be a platform scale for playing. In general, the density of false red sandalwood is not enough and its weight is not enough. In order to camouflage high density, the beads are made larger and the weight is increased. However, if it is true red sandalwood with small leaves, it often attaches great importance to large utensils, so good materials will also make a little larger diameter, so the diameter and weight of gram cannot be completely judged as true or false. It should be combined with oiliness. Only the size, weight and oily hand feel are right, it is the real red sandalwood. Three elements should be integrated. )
4. Oily: the new beads of red sandalwood with small leaves are put on for a few days without going to the plate, so the hand feel is not as smooth as before, because it is oily and easy to form a good coating.
5. fade. Novices often think that their red sandalwood leaves will fade is a fake, in fact, this concept has a great mistake. In ancient times, red sandalwood was specially ground into powder, which was used as Royal dye. Therefore, the real red sandalwood hand string with white hands will definitely dye red gloves when playing with the white hands, and it can also leave a crayon like orange mark on the white paper.
6. Fluorescence: the relatively high-quality red sandalwood leaves will form a kind of color on the surface after a little polishing treatment. It is generally called fluorescence by experts, and will not disappear for long after playing. Put in water for half a day will have a very obvious effect, in the water will emit blue light, which is the unique fluorescence reaction of red sandalwood itself, but try not to use this identification method, which is very harmful to beads.
7. sink. The air dry density of red sandalwood is higher than that of water, so it will sink in general. It must not be red sandalwood. (but the sunken water is not necessarily red sandalwood. Some dense wood will sink as well. )
8. Sound: the density of red sandalwood is very high, so one of the most effective identification methods is to listen to the impact sound. If the sound is crisp and not dull, it is red sandalwood. Generally speaking, an experienced listener will know the truth.
9. Luster: natural surface, soft luster, no thief light. Generally speaking, there will never be strange light. It will not suddenly be particularly reflective and bright. Because he is a natural thing, a wood, what wood will suddenly be particularly bright? He is not a metal, not a pearl, not emerald, not a diamond. If he is particularly bright, then he is not a traitor or a thief.
10. Alcohol: alcohol test is also a classic method for identification of red sandalwood, which is cotton like red when thrown into alcohol (this method is too harmful to red sandalwood, so be careful)
11. Venus: the identification of Venus is relatively simple. A certain treasure buys a 100x magnifying glass, which can be seen at a glance.
12. Price: in real currency, for example, the price of general physical stores will be around 1000-1500, and there will be more or less flaws. Otherwise, the comprehensive store, rent and company cost cannot be closed. Then, the minimum transaction base price will be around 700-1000. It's too low to say. It doesn't have to be fake. It may be almost, but it's hard to say. Unless the channel is very hard or the manufacturer sells directly. Can drive down prices. For example, if we don't enter the store and take some channel resources with extremely large volume of goods, the price may come down. If you can buy real red sandalwood in 600-700 or so and see it in the past, it's definitely earned. Do not be greedy, greedy is bound to cheat. If you are greedy, you will be cheated.
13. Taste: the taste of red sandalwood is the best way to identify. If you heat the beads by hand or pierce the thin wire, it will have obvious taste. The specific taste varies from person to person. Some of them smell of wood, some of them smell of temple, some of them smell of chocolate. In fact, they are all right. The smell of red sandalwood is very comfortable. You can understand it by smelling more and comparing.
14. Hand feeling: the density of red sandalwood is large and its oil is good. It feels very different on the hands. It's very pressing and warm.
15. Workmanship: good materials must have good workmanship. Of course, now the craft of counterfeiting is parallel to that of real goods. However, there are 369 levels of counterfeiting. Some beads are not round and elliptical. Then, such beads are likely to be fake. Even if they are true, their value will be greatly reduced. In terms of technology, first, it looks round, second, it looks polished. Throw too thin, brown eyes blocked, suspicious. Throw too thick, brown eyes and pockmarks like, also suspicious.
16. Growth lines: in fact, rings. Pine, elm and willow are all one year old, long and fast, so the rings are clearly visible. But red sandalwood with small leaves grows very slowly and its wood is very fine. Five years is a long round. The rings are very close. It's only 300 years since the mouth of the bowl was so thick. 600 years is a two bowls so thick, it's big stuff. His growth ring is very fine and not obvious. Obviously not.
If your beads are identified by the above method, it must be red sandalwood. If there is any obvious discrepancy, the bead should be considered.
