修补琥珀的鉴定

Identification of The Repaired Amber

在对市场上的琥珀首饰检测过程中发现有经过人工修补的琥珀饰品,对人工修补的琥珀饰品经宝石显微镜、紫外荧光灯、傅里叶变换红外光谱仪分析,结果表明:修补琥珀是先用树脂对琥珀表面的孔洞或裂隙充填,再在充填处粘贴一块带有皮色的琥珀,冒充原皮,对充填处进行掩盖。这种修补琥珀具有极强的迷惑性,检测难度较大,检测人员和购买者都要提高警惕。

Repaired amber jewelry had been found during detection of the amber jewelry sold on the market. They were analyzed by Gem microscope, UV fluorescent lamp and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Result shows that the holes or cracks of the am- ber are first filled with resin and then covered by a piece of amber of surface color to make it look like the original surface. This type of amber is extremely deceptive and hard to rec- ognize. Both of the testers and buyers should keep this in mind and try to be more care- ful.
