An '''Uncut ruby''' is a red [[gems|gem]] used in [[Crafting]]. At level 34 Crafting a player may cut an uncut ruby by using a chisel on it, which will grant 85 Crafting experience per stone, making the uncut ruby into a [[Ruby]]. Uncut rubies are generally more valuable as is, mostly due to the value of the crafting experience they generate.

Uncut rubies can be obtained in several ways. They can be generated randomly while the player is [[mining]] any sort of [[ore]]. Rubies are uncommon to rare drops from a multitude of monsters, and are regularly offered as a reward from [[Random events|Random Event]] gifts.

To obtain a ruby more directly, Players with level 40 [[mining]] who have completed the [[Shilo Village (quest)|Shilo Village]] quest can try the [[gem rock]]s in [[Shilo Village]]. Gem rocks may also appear while playing the [[Tai Bwo Wannai Cleanup]] activity, but these rocks are exhausted after 3 gems have been obtained. Note that gem rocks generate a random gem, not just rubies, so it may take several tries to actually obtain a ruby. It is also possible to obtain an Uncut Ruby from a Shooting Star. A slower way to get uncut rubies is cracking the [[Wall safe]] located in [[Rogues' Den|Rogue's den]] which requires level 50 [[thieving]]. The final and only certain way of obtaining an uncut ruby is to use [[muddy key]]s to unlock the chest in the center of the lava maze, in high wilderness. This method is slightly hazardous, but it will always generate a ruby, as well as a handful of other rewards.

Being gems, rubies may be sold to the specialty Gem Stores found in [[Falador]], west of the castle, and also to the [[gem trader]] in Al-Kharid. Doing so would be a complete waste, though, as these items are very sought after, being used to create many fairly valuable and/or useful other items.

[[Members]] can also use the [[Fletching]] skill to cut a ruby into [[Ruby bolt tips]] by using a [[chisel]] on an already "cut" ruby, requiring 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]], which are used to tip [[adamant bolts]].

==Trivia==
*The Ruby looks essentially identical to the [[Blood diamond]] from [[Desert Treasure]].
*Previously the uncut ruby's examine text was: "It would be worth more cut." It has since been changed to "An uncut ruby." as uncut gems are actually worth more than cut gems.
