The others are [[Amethyst]], [[Emerald]], [[Topaz]], and [[Diamonds]], the last added in [[Patch 2.0.1]] and [[Reaper of Souls]]. See [[gems|the main gems article]] for full details about gem scarcity, upgrade recipes, strategy, and more.
Rubies are very useful socketed provide a variety of bonuses, adding % Experience gain in weaponshelms, especially since the [[Patch 1.0.7]] buffed their +damage. Prior to that patch Rubies were great in weapons for low , and mid-level characters, since +Strength in Armor. The exp gain bonus from a helm is a popular socket. Strength is the damage added by the Ruby was very substantial. Rubies were not as useful mainstat for high level characters, since with better gear and increased [[Critical hit ChanceBarbarian]] stats, the Emerald with its s and [[Critical hit DamageCrusader]] bonus was much more powerful than s and those classes often stick Rubies into their armor for the boost to damage and the Rubysecondary benefit of raising their Armor.
