Rudraksha Testing

• There are 2 ways of testing and certifying the
  Rudraksha beads.
• Rudraksha Observation
• Rudraksha testing
• Rudraksha Observation where Rudraksha expert
  would examine the bead physically and give
  certificate for the same. ( Sample of the report
  attached). The physical examination would be done
  on the basis of Visual appearance of the bead,
  color, formation of natural hole, etc.

• Rudraksha testing where Rudraksha would be
  tested in the RRTL lab and certificate would be
  issued. ( Copy of certificate already given).
  Here Rudraksha would be tested by lab in charge,
  where the internal compartment would be checked
  through X-ray, height, weight and diameter would
  be checked along with the all other test
  mentioned above.

Some other techniques of testing Rudraksha

• Cut Test A full proof method is to cut the
  Rudraksha bead horizontally. One will find the
  same number of compartments as that of the number
  of lines . However the drawback is that by this
  method, the bead gets destroyed.
• Properties Test The other is to find out whether
  the beads exhibit properties like inductance,
  capacitance, conduction of electric current etc.

• 3. The copper coin test It is generally held
  that if Rudraksha beads are placed
  between two copper coins it should rotate
  slightly. This is due to the physical and
  magnetic properties of the Rudraksha beads. This
  test requires a high level of expertise.
• 4. Eye test A fake or the artificial Rudraksha
  may look like a real one but in these Rudraksha
  the facets (mukhis) cannot be made as real as
  those present on the real Rudraksha.

9
In a Rudraksha the facets or the mukhis means
deep lining from the upper part to the lower part
of Rudraksha. Looking at these deep linings
(facets) with the help of a magnifying glass, one
can easily recognize a real Rudraksha. 5. Water
test Some times a higher valued Rudraksha
(Gaurishankar Rudraksha or a Trijuti) are made by
artificially joining two or three Rudraksha with
the help of glue etc. In case of doubt such
Rudraksha should be soaked in water for 15-18
hours . A sharp discoloration will take place at
the joint in case of artificial Rudraksha.
