Rare Jewels are a set of rares that can be found throughout the Spore galaxy. Like all other sets of rares and artifacts, they are randomly scattered, meaning that there is generally no way of knowing or predicting where they will end up in any specific game.
The combined value of the Rare Jewels is $450,000. However, if you have all of them in your cargo hold at the same time, the set will sell for $4,500,000 instead.

Rubies.
Collector's Icon.
"Great! You found the rubies! Only 24,000,000 more and you can make yourself a pair of slippers so you can go home."

Note: The in game graphic for Rubies is cyan colored. This appears to be an error overlooked by Maxis.
