] One test-procedure consisted of immersing the sample,
suspected to be a fake pearl, in hot oil mixed with a pinch of
common salt, as the first step. Then the sample had to be soaked
overnight in water, and rubbed with dry cloth and grains of paddy.
If the colour did not fade, the pearl was considered to be genuine.
(RP 104-105, GP. 1.69, 39-40 and MM 323-325). Another method was
suggested in Agastimata.
The sample was to be mixed with salt
and cow's urine, and the mixture heated over fire. Then it had to
be rubbed with a quantity of chaff. A false pearl would be reduced
to fragments on this treatment, while a real one would shine more
brightly. (AM 167-169 and MM 326-327).
The steps narrated above amounted to cleaning of genuine
pearl as well, an object for which additional procedures were
recommended. Pearls could be cooked in the juice of lemon and
then rubbed with finely chopped carrot, when the samples could be
bored quickly. Alternatively, pearls could be cooked in a

MM 328-329); Garuda Purana noted that this method had been original
