Help on rudraksha beds

[Starsign 0]

Hello,

 

Hope someone can please help.

I have a 4 mukhi, 5 mukhi, 8 mukhi radraksha.

I understand 4 mukhi and 5 mukhi beads are quite easily found so normally genuine beads.

 

However I also have a 8 mukhi and a gauri shanker angarb shanker bead.

 

I know it's so hard to tell if they are real so I boiled the beads in water for 5 hours. The water turned a dirty yell colour with tiny bubbles in the water. So far the beads are in tact, can't see any glue seeping through. I read some where if a solid glue is used to test the beads you cAn use a strong chemical.

 

I bought the beads from a website that seems genuine, service is good, but I wanted to make sure they are real before I wear/pray on them.

 

Has any one had any experience with these beads? Please help

Thankyou :-)
