Ruby

A Ruby is a red gem used in crafting. An uncut ruby can be cut by a player with 34 Crafting by using it with a chisel, granting 85 Crafting experience and making the uncut ruby into a ruby.

Uncut rubies can be obtained in several ways. Players can get them randomly while mining ores, as drops from monsters or by selecting them as a reward from Random Event gifts. With level 40 mining and Shilo Village quest completed players can mine the gem rocks in Shilo Village. Gem rocks may also appear while playing the Tai Bwo Wannai Cleanup activity, where players can mine them 3 times. A slow way to get uncut rubies is Wall safe cracking in Rogues' Den, but this requires level 50 thieving. It is also possible to obtain an Uncut Ruby from a Shooting Star.

Rubies may be sold to the Gem Store in Falador west of the castle, or to the gem trader in Al-Kharid. There is little point to doing this as they fetch much better prices on the Grand Exchange.

Members can also use the Fletching skill to cut a ruby into ruby bolt tips by using a chisel on a 'cut' ruby at level 63 fletching. Cutting a ruby into bolt tips grants the player 6 experience in the fletching skill and gives the player 12 ruby bolt tips.

Before the uncut ruby/emerald/diamond/sapphire's examine used to say "It would be worth more cut" but now it has changed to "An Uncut/sapphire/emerald/ruby/diamond" because uncut gems are now worth more than cut gems.

Ruby Jewellery and Bolts
Rubies can be forged in a furnace with a gold bar and the appropriate mould to produce the following jewellery, which can then be enchanted to perform specific uses.

Notes:

Trivia

 * Rubies have the same appearance as the blood diamond from the quest Desert Treasure.
