Guest guest Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Dear Amit, The engravings on Natural Rudraksha are differentiated from other as hand made by artisians on unnatural/natural beads. The natural design pattern & contours of original cannot be copied by any artisian or tool. It needs expertise to carefully examine (probably by lens & viewing under different light sources-colours). Further unnatural ones may be carved out of existing original by making extra cut or joining 2 beads, this can also be recognised by expert eye. In case you want authenticity of Rudraksha centre beads, you can ask for " Certificate Of Authenticity " , which can be provided by them. *PS* the website mentions about this certificate. also gems carry certificate by gem instutute of India, 3rd party certification agency. In case you want to develop your expertise for original bead identification, it is a skill which is learnable, you can start with identifying suitable guru & whenever you buy cabbage, cut it in middle(thicker part) horizontally & appreciate the contours/design pattern of leaf allignment. You can do this for as many cabbages as you like. This will also enhance your appreciation power of nature........ ( " suvyavastha mein vyavastha..... orderliness in disorderliness " ) *May I request you can send your bead to RC (Rudra Centre: /sendEnquiry.php for free check up, you have to pay courier charges both ways.* About existing bead, you need to trust for the time being that at least this is original & trust in lord. You can always buy one more bead from RC(price apprx 4500/- for half moon 1 mukhi) Warm regards Prabhjot * * 2009/5/5 amitbhatt705 <amitbhatt705 > > > Hello all, > > I posted yesterday and I am pretty much convinced that the ek mukhi > Round-Shape rudraksha that I have is fake.
