• The Rudraksha are visually tested for any insect infects and either / or holes on the outer covering.
• Check for external mukhi to identify and segregate them into different faces / mukhis.
• X-Ray testing is done to check for any unidentified elements within the Rudraksha (metal, plastic, etc.) and observe the internal structure of the beads.
• Once X-Ray test confirms the geniuninnity, each Rudraksha is then sent for checking dimensions,height, weight, diameter etc.
• Ideally the number of compartment within the Rudraksha along with the seed should match the faces on the outside of the Rudraksha.
