Grain usually straight often with a fine curly figure. Fine texture. Moderately hard to work but takes a glossy, lustrous finish. Lacquer finish will best preserve the color. Also called Amaranth or purpleheart.
Color Range
Dull gray brown when freshly cut but soon oxidizing to a violet purple.

I had a really nice experience at the Tucson store this week - I needed some small scraps of hardwood for crafts projects.
The person who helped me was very kind in answering my questions _and_ he identified the different kinds of wood that I found and purchased.
Thank you for your wonderful store.
