不同产地琥珀的鉴别特征研究进展

Research progress on identification characteristics of ambers from different product areas

近几年,有关宝玉石产地溯源的研究是地质学界的热门课题之一。世界上众多国家和地区出产琥珀,以中国、波罗的海、多米尼加、墨西哥以及缅甸等地的琥珀质量最为上乘。不同产地琥珀的品质以及价值差异巨大,因而对于琥珀产地的区分变得尤为重要。国内外学者对五大产地(中国、波罗的海、多米尼加、墨西哥、缅甸)琥珀的宝石学、地球化学以及光谱学特征进行研究,为区分琥珀产地提供鉴别依据,但随着琥珀产地的不断发掘,现有的鉴别特征可能无法有效区分琥珀来源,可见关于示踪琥珀产地的研究具有较大的发展空间。

In recent years, the research on the origin of gems and jades is one of the hottest topics in the geology field. Ambers are produced in many countries and regions in the world, the best quality ambers are produced in China, the Baltic Sea, Dominica, Mexico and Myanmar. The quality and value of ambers vary greatly from place to place, so it is significant to distinguish the origin of ambers. Scholars at home and abroad have studied the gemological, geochemical and spectral characteristics of ambers from the five major producing areas(China, the Baltic Sea, Dominica, Mexico and Myanmar), to provide evidence for identifying the origin of ambers. But the increasing numbers of places of ambers are discovered, existing identification features might not be effective in distinguishing the product areas of ambers, so that there is a great development space for the study to trace the origin of ambers.
