In-Game Information

An extremely rare and valuable red jewel, found in clusters of rubies, which are themselves only found in clusters of bauxite.

Real-World Information

The "star" pattern that this mineral is known for is caused by Template:L (Titanium dioxide: TiO2) crystals that have impregnated the host corundum crystal. Star rubies are only smoothed into cabochons, as cutting them with facets does not allow the star pattern to be seen.
