1, smell
Sea yellow, the scientific name Dalbergia odorifera, is mostly quiet and fragrant. This smell is unique to sea yellow, so it can be used as the main method to distinguish between true and false sea yellow. Conditional You Zhu can smell more sea yellow logs and their finished products.
But at present, most of the sea yellow products on the market are waxed or glued, so the direct smell is not accurate. At this time, you can use the same method as identifying the smell of rosewood-puncture heating.
2. Texture
If oiliness is the foundation of rosewood, then texture is the essence of sea yellow. Different texture structures often show the rarity and price of sea yellow. However, the texture of sea yellow is rich and varied, and there are many similar Woods. It is difficult to distinguish the authenticity of sea yellow only by texture.
The texture of sea yellow is orderly, smooth and clean, like freehand brushwork landscapes and colored glasses. Compared with the yellower one, its texture is clearer, coarse and fine, and its lines are clear and layered.
Step 3: Fluorescence
After polishing, the finished product of sea yellow has a strong texture and sufficient fluorescence, showing a jade-like effect in a good light environment. However, the fluorescence performance of other wood pretending to be sea yellow is not as good as that of sea yellow, which is also an important feature that distinguishes sea yellow from other wood.
Step 4 color
Huang Huali is rich in colors. Different materials or different parts of the same material often have different colors, such as yellow, gold, purple, brown, reddish brown, black and so on. Therefore, it is difficult for novices and old drivers to distinguish the authenticity of sea yellow from the color alone.
5. Density
Density is often directly reflected by gram weight, and is usually not used as a basis for distinguishing authenticity. Many fake seaweeds are slightly different in size, and the gram weight after being made into beads is similar. Here is a set of pictures for reference, not as a basis.
6. Brown eyes
The brown eyes of sea yellow are more delicate, and the more yellow the brown eyes are, especially the root material, while the high-quality rosewood willow has almost no brown eyes.
