How to identify your original 9-Mukhi Rudraksha: 

• Good quality Rudraksha will contain mukhis with a clear outline that flow across their entire length. Most of the time, the one-mukhi Rudraksha beads that have greater than twelve lines could be forged by traders for the purpose of making a high profit. The upper mukhi is made through the sculpting of a lower mukhi. 
• According to Maha Shiv Puran, the only reliable technique to determine whether or not a 9-Mukhi is authentic is to split the bead along the centre and count the number of chambers.
• The number of lines inside the compartments should correspond to the number of Mukhis on the exterior of the bead. X-rays are effective in revealing the lines inside it.
• An authentic Rudraksha is a gorgeous body that is clearly marked grooves, or Mukhis. Fake or artificially made Rudraksha could look exactly like the real one, but the characteristics (Mukhis) aren’t exactly like authentic beads. Beads that aren’t fully created or eaten up by insects has a higher chance to fall. 
• The Rudraksha bead should spin somewhat if you set it between two copper coins, according to the Copper Coin Test.
• Many customers do this without knowing the true fact or reason for it because they believe it is related to the Rudraksha beads’ physical and magnetic properties.
• If you hold a round object (like a Rudraksha bead) between two smooth metal coins, the object will spin because of the mechanical force acting on the pivoted surface of the Rudraksha bead. This has nothing to do with the authenticity of the Rudraksha.
• If the Rudraksha is held securely between the two coins, or if the protrusions are flattish and hence oppose the movement, there may be no spinning at all.
• When customers find that their Rudraksha bead doesn’t spin freely in their hands, they often jump to the conclusion that the bead is false.
