Jarrah grows only in the south-west corner of Western Australia. It is one of the hardest and most durable of the eucalypts; the same timber that paved nineteenth-century streets and still stands in wharves and bridges around the world.
On the rosary
Jarrah beads have real weight. The deep red colour is unmistakable and it darkens toward burgundy as the rosary is handled and exposed to light. The interlocked grain gives each bead a subtle depth when polished.
Why we chose it
A rosary should outlast the person who prays it. Jarrah is a timber that hardens with age — a fitting companion for the long, slow work of a life of prayer.
