[[File:Ruby detail.png|left|100px|A cut ruby]]
A '''Ruby''' is a red [[gems|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]] [[ore]]s, as drops from monsters or by selecting them as a reward from [[Random events|Random Event]] gifts. With level 40 [[mining]] and [[Shilo Village (quest)|Shilo Village quest]] completed players can mine the [[gem rock]]s 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|Rogue's 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.

[[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==
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.
