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.
