Fake or real rudraksha ??? Help urgently plz

Hello, I recently purchased 4 Mukhi, 5 Mukhi, and 6 Mukhi Rudraksha beads from A-----------.com.  

At their shop, I was shown loose beads of these types. After returning home, I tested the beads by placing them individually in a glass of water. None floated; some dissolved in water.  

I am concerned: Are these Rudraksha beads genuine or fake?

Dear Sachdeva,  

You can find many documents and online articles regarding Rudraksha testing procedures.  

- Rudraksha beads should ideally be tested by the buyer to confirm authenticity.  
- Four, five, and six Mukhi beads are mostly not faked. They may differ in color and quality, but are generally authentic.  
- Please review our blog articles on testing methods for more details.  

Thanks,  
Om Namah Shivaya

There are no formal tests for Rudraksha authenticity except evaluation by an experienced person. Natural variations exist, and manipulated beads may be difficult to distinguish.
