Cut ruby
Cut ruby is a cut gem: it comes from cutting the uncut gem at the artisan table, with Artisanry 34. It is the middle one of five qualities: three of one quality make one of the next.

At the artisan table, with the artisan needle in your backpack: one uncut gem gives one cut gem and, always, a chipped gem as a bonus. It costs no gold.
