Honeycomb Ruby Towers - Misfits

Honeycomb ruby is an engineered gemstone made by layering pieces of synthetic ruby in a honeycomb design, then fusing them using heat and pressure. It has the identical chemical composition (aluminum oxide with chromium) as natural ruby but is not found in nature. Valued for its unique look and sometimes incorporated into jewelry, its synthetic origin affects its market value. These are misfit towers featuring various chips and surface imperfections.
