No, a genuine Rudraksha doesn’t usually float in water; it usually sinks.
A genuine Rudraksha bead is quite dense because it’s made of tough, natural seeds with multiple internal chambers. Therefore, when you place a genuine Rudraksha in a container of water, it should usually sink to the bottom.
However, this isn’t a foolproof test to determine whether a Rudraksha is genuine or fake. Some fake Rudraksha beads are so heavy that they even sink. Furthermore, some genuine, but dry or damaged, Rudraksha beads may float because air is trapped inside.
