Rudraksha Testing
& X-Ray Certification

Using state-of-the-art digital radiography, specific gravity density calculations, and microscopic botanical profiling, we reveal the internal truth of sacred seeds. As the premier Rudraksha testing laboratory in Delhi, we protect collectors against artificial lines, glued compartments, and composite fakes.

Advanced Verification Protocols

Our gemstone and Rudraksha certification Rohini center isolates genuine Elaeocarpus ganitrus seeds from elaborate human manipulation.

Digital Radiography

The ultimate verification test. A genuine bead has internal seed cavities (chambers) matching its external facets (Mukhis) exactly. X-Ray immediately exposes carved lines or composite beads with no internal seeds.

Chamber Scan: 100% Non-destructive

Density Profiling

Using hydrostatic balance to determine density. Synthetic resins, wood-paste additions, and lead weights used to fake rare, heavy beads are easily detected by deviation from organic density thresholds.

Specific Gravity Balance

Botanical Profiling

Inspecting structural furrows, natural fibers, and cell walls under digital magnification. This excludes plastic casting, wood carving, or seeds of other botanical species.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most common queries regarding digital X-Ray radiography, specific gravity tests, and botanical identification of Rudraksha seeds.

Why is digital X-Ray imaging used to verify Rudraksha beads?

keyboard_arrow_down
A natural Rudraksha bead contains hollow internal seed cavities (chambers) that correspond exactly to its outer facets (Mukhi lines). Digital X-ray radiography allows us to view the internal anatomy non-destructively, proving whether the bead has genuine internal seed compartments or is an artificial carving.

What are the common ways counterfeit Rudraksha beads are made?

keyboard_arrow_down
Counterfeiters typically carve extra lines onto standard 5-Mukhi beads to sell them as rare high-Mukhi variants, glue segments together to form fakes, or cast beads entirely from wood dust and synthetic resins. In all these cases, specific gravity tests and X-Ray scans quickly identify the absence of natural internal seeds and chambers.

How does Delhi Gold Testing verify a 1 Mukhi (one-faced) round Rudraksha bead?

keyboard_arrow_down
Round 1-Mukhi beads (Ek Mukhi) are extraordinarily rare in nature. The vast majority in the market are fakes carved from regular beads or made of cashew-shaped Bhadraksha seeds. Under X-ray radiography, a genuine round 1-Mukhi must show exactly one internal seed chamber. If it shows multiple chambers or is carved from a standard 5-Mukhi, it is identified as a fake.

What botanical checks are performed to verify genuine Elaeocarpus ganitrus seeds?

keyboard_arrow_down
Under 10x to 60x digital zoom microscopy, we inspect the fiber structure, the natural pattern of surface cells (cytology), and the characteristics of the surface grooves (capsules) to ensure they match the botanical blueprint of authentic Elaeocarpus ganitrus trees.
