Appearance

Rubies are red, small and circular in appearance, shaped similar to sapphires. They are distinctively radiant with a slight red luminescence under the lack of direct sunlight.

Where Found

Rubies are naturally found several hundred blocks deep in the cavernous networks and underground regions of the world. They are typically surrounded by hard rock, such as stone. Rarely but occasionally, they can be found underwater in a subterranean confined or perched aquifer. They may be purchased from a level 5 trade portal. They can also, rarely, be found in a golden chest, received from meditation, or growing on a gem tree.

Portal Upgrade

Rubies are needed to upgrade a portal to a ruby (level 5) portal, allowing a blockhead to craft a ruby pickaxe.
