How to distinguish between black and ebony
Many friends think that the old and new materials of ebony are stored for a long time after felling. In fact, this understanding is not very accurate.

Ebony is old, oily, heavy, and of high density. The quality of the red sandalwood can feel a noticeable waxy appearance when polished. Some old materials have obvious flame patterns, but not every part has an absolute flame pattern. When you see ebony with a flame pattern, you can almost surely be old. The above mentioned that the main reason for the new material of red sandalwood is not as good as the old material is the density and moisture volatilization, the new material is relatively easy to crack, but everyone is assured that ebony is easily not so vulnerable. The new material, the lower proportion, brown eyes, material crisp. The proportion is low. Take a 20-mm diameter red sandalwood bead as an example. The high-density beads can weigh 66 to 68 grams without being heavy (without pagodas, disciple beads, within an aperture of 1.8 mm). The new beads are often only 62-64g. (This reference value is the same size, diameter, and diameter, and the diameter is accurate within 20.3mm. It is not the weight of 20.8 or even 21MM on the market for reference.)
