Ruby (Subnautica)
Ruby is a raw material commonly found throughout the Grand Reef, Lost River, and the Deep Sparse Reef. It is used for advanced vehicle construction and modification, and occurs abundantly on thermal vents.
Appearance
Rubies appear as white, bluish pieces of mineral with four stubby, red crystalline spikes jutting outward. They emit a faint glow at night, making them much easier to find.
