Start with a check on the number of Mukhis (Faces), common feature of Rudraksha beads

Genuine Rudraksha have clear, continuous Mukhi without artificial carvings and lines. You can make a visual analysis of your “to be purchased Rudraksha”  by your own, as you go on counting the number of lines (Mukhi’s) carefully starting from peak (hole) to the base, ensuring the natural patterns of lines.

The fake one looks a perfect piece due to the after effects design of duplicate grooves drilled artificially.

Also genuine bead have veils, internal cracks visible on its surface adding as a proof of its original source ethical yield only in Nepal and Indonesia.  

Look for the original Rudraksha bead hole

As you move on with identifying the original Rudraksha with the fake one you have sufficient know-how as the hole in real Rudraksha is naturally uneven and appears rough depicting it’s natural formation and harvest over a period of time.

Water test can be handy sometimes when you are having time constraint

Purchased Rudraksha bead are dense and heavy in weight when held in hand so once it is dropped in a glass of water it usually sinks to the bottom level whereas the fake keep afloat due to lightness in weight adding to their artificial use of wood and plastic material.

Although it is not a full proof test as sometimes genuine Rudraksha keep floating due its density.
