What kinds of aromatic woods are Catholic rosaries made of?
My mother was given a rosary in Italy about three decades ago. It was made of some kind of reddish-brown wood and sterling silver. After twenty years, the wood still had a spicy, rich scent to it. The rosary was stolen a few years ago; I'd like to have another one made for her, but don't know the type of wood. The only aromatic wood in rosaries I've been able to find is sandalwood. Does anyone know of other aromatic woods rosaries can be made of?
It was probably rosewood. But could have been cherry, olive, or cedar.
