Rosewood is generally heavier than ebony. This is due to the differences in their densities. Rosewood, which belongs to the Dalbergia genus, typically has a density ranging from 0.65 to 0.85 grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³). In contrast, ebony, a member of the Diospyros genus, generally has a density ranging from 0.9 to 1.1 g/cm³. The higher density of ebony contributes to its greater weight compared to rosewood.
