![]() Note: these are samples. Your piece could be darker than the top piece and look almost black when you receive it. It can be very dark all the way through, or could look like the lower one in the picture above. Unfortunately we cannot easily select older pieces for color, because there is no way to tell without cutting the wood first (due to a dark violet patina on old pieces). The normal range of colors goes from purple black to reddish, and they all look basically the same on the outside, but we do make guesses when asked. This wood cannot be shipped outside the USA due to CITES trade rules on woods from Madagascar. ![]() Bois de rose in 1 x 1 x 15 inches.

The first pic above shows the wood color most accurately of all 4 photos. These are an incredibly rare type of rosewood from Madagascarr. It is a dalbergia species but I have found conflicting ideas on what the actual botanical name is. It is probably dalbergia baronii. Almost unknown on the market, especially in high quality pieces like these. Also banned for export/import like bois de rose, so supply is limited to what was imported before restrictions took place. All pieces are DRIED. Please order by number below. If the item is missing below or you get an out of stock notice in the shopping cart , that means the piece is sold. |
