What's the wood like?
While the wood is hard and attractive (with a similarity to Brazilian Rosewood and Morado), the interlocked grain makes it difficult to plane and carve. Jacaranda Para does accept a glassy smooth finish with little trouble.

How's the color?
Dark purple to violet purple, and somewhat dark brown to nearly black. Also features dark lines and stripes.

Does it go by other names?
Jacaranda pardo, Jacaranda amarello, Jacaranda do cerrado, Jacaranda escuro, Jacaranda do mato, Jacaranda paulista, Jacaranda pedra, Jacaranda roxo
