Purple Heart

Latin: Peltogyne, Purple Heart comes from the rainforests of Brazil, Guyana, and Suriname.
The species of the genus range from southeastern Brazil through northern South America, Panama, Costa Rica, and Trinidad, with the majority of species in the Amazon Basin. P. Mexicana is a geographic outlier, native to the Mexican state of Guerrero.

Purple Heart is an extremely dense and water-resistant wood. It is ranked one of the hardest and stiffest of the woods in the world. Some people claim it is so durable that it can be used as truck decking. The trees are prized for their beautiful heartwood which, when cut, quickly turns from a light brown to a rich purple color. Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light darkens the wood to a brown color with a slight hue of the original purple. The longer the wood is exposed to UV lights (sunlight), the color of purple slowly changes from a light purple to a substantially chocolate-purple color. This effect can be minimized with a finish containing a UV inhibitor. The wood is also known as amaranth and violet wood.
