The Ruby is a beautiful red gem that you can mine in Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town. These can be found from the very first level of the Lake Mine, making it one of the easiest minerals to get for gifting and selling.

How To Get Rubies

Ruby Gems can only be found by breaking rocks with your Hammer in the Lake Mine. They have a spawn rate between 0.4%-15.6%, so just keep digging and smashing rocks in the Lake Mine until you finally find a Ruby.

Upgrading the Hammer to the Cursed/Blessed or Mythic level can allow you to charge it and simultaneously break all the boulders on the map, saving you a lot of time.

Remember that you can only access the Lake Mine during Winter, when Kappa’s lake freezes over.

In later stages of the game, though, you can find a Travel Stone on Level 255 of the Spring Mine which allows you to instantly teleport anywhere in Mineral Town.

Selling Rubies

Rubies can be sold to either Zack or Huang for 75 G.

To sell a Ruby to Zack, simply drop your gems into the Shipping Bin and wait for him to pick them up at 5:00 PM every day.

Selling your Ruby via the Shipping Bin will count towards the list of shippable items you need to achieve for full completion.

This is important because shipping all possible items is a requirement for marrying either Kappa or the Harvest Goddess. You can track your progress by checking the Shipping List on your bookshelf.
