How is the genuineness of the beads tested? How do we choose a good Rudraksha bead?
The genuineness of the Rudraksha bead is tested by a lot of methods. But none of them are foolproof. Test like water test where beads are placed in a glass of water and if they sink, they are said to be genuine. However, the genuine unripe Rudraksha beads also float. Other tests are the copper coins test where the bead movement decides the genuineness. Fake Rudraksha may be checked by magnifying glass as well. However, the best way to buy a genuine Rudraksha is through a trusted supplier.
