Star Ruby
A variation of the ruby (red corundum), this
stone is less translucent than a normal ruby and has a
white star highlighted at its center. Such stars are caused
by the optical properties of the mineral crystal. They
most commonly have six points, though other even-numbered
combinations are possible. Of every hundred rubies,
one is a star.
A star ruby included in any wand with an illusion spell
adds +2 to the effective caster level of the effect.
Material Cost: 5,000 gp.
