About the Most Rare Rudraksha:

1 Mukhi Rudraksha:
A natural one mukhi rudraksha is considered one of the most rare rudraksha, but if it is round and originates in Nepal. A Nepal-originated one mukhi round shape rudraksha is a very rare rudraksha because it is not found easily. Ek Mukhi Rudraksha is a very favourite Rudraksha of Lord Shiva. According to the Shiva Purana, Lord Shiva is said to rule over this Rudraksha and reside within it. And this is extremely rare, but its substitute is easily available in the market, known as the kaju dana, or a half-moon-shaped one.
21 Mukhi Rudraksha:
The Nepali 21 Mukhi Rudraksha is considered the most rare Rudraksha in the world due to its extreme rarity and high demand. This Rudraksha is as rare as it is powerful. Due to its low availability, it is considered the most expensive Rudraksha. This Rudraksha is very beneficial, and its connection is directly with luxury. The person who wears it gets luxury; this Rudraksha is ruled by Shri Kuber, who is himself the god of luxury. But this Rudraksha is found very rarely, and only one 21 Mukhi Rudraksha is found in many years.
Trijuti Rudraksha:
Trijuti Rudraksha, also known as Tribhagi Rudraksha, is a Rudraksha that is made by joining three different Rudrakshas. And it is very difficult for three Rudrakshas to be joined together naturally, hence this Rudraksha is also most rare Rudrakshas. Its substitutes are easily available in the market. Due to its rarity, many sellers make Trijuti Rudraksha by joining 3 Rudrakshas in the lab. Lab-made Trijuti Rudraksha is also expensive, as it is made from three underdeveloped Rudrakshas, and it is also quite an expensive Rudraksha. And fake Trijuti Rudrakshas are easily available, but they are not effective. The wearer does not get any benefit from them.
Sawar Rudraksha:

This Rudraksha comes in the most rare Rudraksha. Because a normal Rudraksha is easily available in the market, it is considered quite rare to have a second Rudraksha attached to one Rudraksha. This Rudraksha is as rare as it is auspicious. It has many benefits. If someone gets this rare Rudraksha, he must wear it and take advantage of it.
Nirakar Rudraksha:
Nirakar Rudraksha, or formless Rudraksha, is also a considered most rare Rudraksha. You must have heard that Rudraksha has faces; they are known as Mukhiki, but this is a rare Rudraksha that does not have faces. It is a completely round Rudraksha that does not have partitions, so it is also called formless Rudraksha or 0 Mukhi Rudraksha. It’s important for anyone who wants to wear the Nirakar Rudraksha to understand that its “Nirakar” or formless nature means it has the unique ability to adapt and align with any energy that a person may be lacking in their life.
