Authentic test for Rudrakshas

[Guest guest]

Dear Mr. Vijay,

Thank you very much for opening discussion on an important topic regarding

authenticity tests for Rudraksha Beads. I agree with Shri. Dharmadev Aryaji's

opinion in this connection. Whether Rudraksha floats or sinks can not be the

full-proof test. In my collection I have few real Rudrakshas which float,

though these beads are of very good quality i.e. they are niether infected by

fungus nor infested by any insects. Percentage of floating good quality beads

is very less. As I have mentioned earlier, Rudrakshas which are eiether

infected due to insects or fungal attack, float. Fake beads can be made from

wood or from a type of clay. It is mentioned that fake beads are made from

inner wood of the plant species Aquillaria agallocha and from the wood of Chest

nut (Akrod) plant. To identify real Rudraksha, an expert's eye and touch is

required. There is lot of variation in Rudraksha beads. Constant collection of

different rudrakshas from different localities adds to one's experience in this

field. It is always therefore better to purchase rudraksha beads from the

authentic sources, if a person does not have any experience in it. Fake beads

are generally made for Ek Mukhi and in case of beads more than 13mukhi and

above.

I am a new user to this group, went to the URL u have given but the

url says "(A real rudraksh can be indentified if it floats in a cup of water,

whereas the artificial one will sink in water). IS THIS TRUE. coz i have been

often told that the orginal will sink and the artificial floats.

 

Can somebody throw light on this anamoly
