One more test to check originality of rudraksha bead

[Guest guest]

i have a goldsmith's " touchstone " , and i can tell you that, while a touchstone

is good for telling different kinds of metals and alloys, it would not be good

at all for testing organic materials like rudrakhsha seeds. the stone is very

slightly abrasive, and would rub off the surface of the seed, whether or not

it was an authentic rudrakhsha or another organic material.
