Generally speaking, Xingyue Bodhi is not faked, but occasionally there are plastic products. The simple way to distinguish is to use a red-hot needle. If it is plastic, it will have a burnt smell, and the stars and moons will have a burnt grain smell. Stars and moons are mostly bleached and aged.

Xingyue Bodhi is a natural plant seed, and the material is rattan seed. Because each bead has a big point and many small points, such as the stars holding the moon, it is called Xingyue Bodhi.

All kinds of regularly shaped bodhis seen in the market are post-processed products. Due to the different wearing time, the color and smoothness of bodhi will be different. If you wear it often, the color and smoothness of Xingyue Bodhi will become higher and higher, the color will gradually become darker, and the whole will become more beautiful or even "jade".

New beads that have just been played with should not be in contact with water (soaking in water will lead to peeling, fading, cracking and swelling). Only after playing with them for a period of time can they be in contact with water (it is recommended not to soak in water).
