Types of FAKE 1 Mukhi Beads Found in the Market

Due to its extreme rarity, various counterfeits of 1 Mukhi Nepali Rudraksha exist:

1. Bhadraksha: A Half Moon Shaped bead which looks like a Rudraksha but is grown in various parts of India. It doesn’t have a Natural Hole and is doesn’t belong to Rudraksha Species but actually is called a Bhadraksha. It doesn’t have any healing properties.
2. Carved Seeds: Seeds of other trees like Areca Nut, Betel Nut or sometimes even beads made from Plastic or Clay Molds are carved to show one line and sold as 1 Mukhi Nepali Rudraksha
3. Underdeveloped Rudraksha Beads: Often Underdeveloped Rudraksha beads are sold as 1 Mukhi Rudraksha. They appear to be round, and 1 Mukhi line is carved on the surface and sold as Round 1 Mukhi Rudraksha, an X ray Test will determine that this is not authentic 1 Mukhi Rudraksha
4. Manipulated 1 Mukhi Rudraksha: Some people often shave off 4 line from a 5 Mukhi Rudraksha using Sandpaper and sell that Manipulated bead as 1 Mukhi Nepali Rudraksha, an X ray Test will determine that this is not authentic 1 Mukhi Rudraksha
5. Detached Savar Beads: Savar Rudraksha is like a Gaurishankar Bead where one of the cojoined beads has a 1 Mukhi, this bead is broken off or sometimes naturally detaches and is sold as a 1 Mukhi Rudraksha however we know that our scriptures clearly mention that broken Rudraksha beads should not be worn (Surface Level Cracks are okay however a Completely Broken Bead will not bestow any healing benefits)

Many so-called 'certified' beads are artificially altered. Authenticity requires traditional expertise and scientific cross-verification.
