This article is about an older version of DF. |
Star rubies are extremely rare red gems found in clusters of rubies, which are themselves only found in clusters of bauxite - among the most valuable gems that can be found in Dwarf Fortress, on par with diamonds.
In real life[edit]
The "star" pattern that this mineral is known for is caused by rutile (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.
