{{incomplete|cloud ruby info needed}}
==Specific Types==

===Dragon's Blood Ruby===
:More information required.

===Dragon's Heart Ruby===
:More information required.

===Imperial Ruby===
:A rare kind of ruby with seven rays instead of the more common six, called an imperial ruby in tribute to the [[Book:hrmpesps|Seven Star Empire]].

===Midnight Ruby===
:The most glamorous of the deep-red rubies, the midnight ruby has a black lustre which gives the gem a velvet-like texture. Often found in ground beneath obsidian, it shows best in full daylight, where its claret personality can overcome daunting ebony overtones. This gem does not do well when paired with other stones, and works best as a brooch or pendant. It is found in good, large qualities of 2 or more carats. This gem is often offered as a talisman to ward off evil. One of the gems worked by [[Immokokkon and Sons]].

===Moonspun Ruby===
:A shaft of silver generally runs through the center of a moonspun ruby, giving it a distinctive appearance which many mistake for a pink topaz. The color range for this gem is anywhere from pale pink to deep rose, and the best are cut so the silver shaft resembles a crescent moon. This "flaw" of the mineral emits sharp silvery glints that "erupt" from the surrounding shade. The moonspun ruby is exceptionally rare, and never found in finished pieces of more than a half-carat. One of the gems worked by [[Immokokkon and Sons]].
: This material must be provided for alterations.

===Serpent's Heart Ruby===
:A ruby with a single inclusion running down the center of the gem, causing it to resemble the slitted eye of a serpent.

===Smoke Ruby===
:A shade of red so dark that it is confused for black

===Star Ruby===
:The common name for any ruby displaying the property of asterism, which is an impurity that causes the appearance of a multi-rayed star when light strikes the gem. Once part of the general treasure system, these gems are now only reliably found on [[Dobek Moruryn]].

===Starlight Ruby===
:Gossamer pink which glitters in deep reds and silvers, and often possesses what appears to be a star nestled near its center. One of the gems worked by [[Immokokkon and Sons]].

===Teiro's Hate Ruby===
:An incredibly rare ruby that has only to date been found on [[Andreshlew]]. This ruby is a deep magenta with night-black inclusions in the heart of the gem.
