Description:Species[ edit ] Species of ebony include Diospyros ebenum Ceylon ebony , native to southern India and Sri Lanka ; Diospyros crassiflora Gabon ebony , native to western Africa ; and Diospyros celebica Makassar ebony , native to Indonesia and prized for its luxuriant, multi-colored wood grain. Mauritius ebony, Diospyros tessellaria , was largely exploited by the Dutch in the 17th century. Some species in the genus Diospyros yield an ebony with similar physical properties, but striped rather than evenly black Diospyros ebenum. The wood's dense hardness lent itself to refined moldings framing finely detailed pictorial panels with carving in very low relief bas-relief , usually of allegorical subjects, or with scenes taken from classical or Christian history.
