This will disjoint the artificially joined rudraksha. Similarly, one more test can be done by putting the bead in to the glass of water. It it is a fake one then it will surely float on the water surface.
-
Cutting Test : This test is the most reliable test in all. In this test cut the bead, if you found the same number of compartments as the number of lines then it will be a pure one. But the disadvantage is that the checked bead will be damaged.
