1. Introduction to Pterostilbene.
Rosewood microphylla, whose scientific name is "sandalwood rosewood", belongs to the legume family, mainly found in southern India. Its material color is deep red, the texture is hard and dense, the texture is beautiful, and it has a unique aroma. In the cultural toy market, red sandalwood is widely used to make bracelets, prayer beads, Buddha statues, furniture and other handicrafts, and is deeply loved by cultural toy lovers.
Second, the key points of authenticity identification of red sandalwood.
Colour and texture.
The wood color of the small-leaved red sandalwood should be dark red or purplish-red, and the texture should be natural and beautiful. Real rosewood has a delicate grain, twisted silk or cow hair pattern, while counterfeit and shoddy products tend to be uneven in color and rough in texture.
Weight vs. hardness.
The density of the small-leaved red sandalwood is larger, so the weight is comparatively heavier. At the same time, its hardness is also very high, and it is not easy to wear and deform. When identifying, the surface can be gently tapped or scratched with a sharp object, and the sound of real rosewood is crisp, and there are no obvious marks on the surface.
Oily and shiny.
Rosewood microphylla is rich in oil, and the surface will show a moist luster after polishing. Counterfeit and shoddy products, on the other hand, tend to lack oiliness and have a dry and dull surface.
Brown eyes and cow hair.
The cross-section of the rosewood microphylla will have many small brown eyes and cow hair lines, which are the natural texture of its growth. Real rosewood brown eyes and cow hair are fine and natural, while counterfeit products often lack these features or have a rough texture.
Aroma and fire experiments.
Rosewood has a unique aroma, and it will have a strong sandalwood fragrance after being burned. Counterfeit products, on the other hand, tend to have no fragrance or a pungent taste. The fire test can assist in the identification of authenticity.
