Convention
on International Trade in Endangered Species Likely the world's most treasured timber, genuine Brazilian Rosewood has become quite rare. Prized for its rich brown heartwood and variegated streaks of gold through purple-black, sharply delineating its contrasting sapwood. Resulting from a 1992 CITES worldwide trade embargo, the cost and availability of legal Dalbergia nigra place it in the precious category.
