Cocobolo is a type of Rosewood.
It’s more dense and harder than East Indian or Brazilian Rosewood.

you can't tell the difference imo. Plus almost all makers today will core hi-figure woods anyway. Construction has WAY more to do with how it hits.

Isn't cocobolo the one that kicks up some pretty nasty dust? The kind where a respirator is almost a necessity??

Yes. Many rosewoods including African Blackwood can produce extremely nasty dust particles.
