Although prospecting Mithril can net you quite a few Star Rubies, I'd suggest farming and prospecting Thorium instead. Not only can you get some Star Rubies, but you can also find Blue Sapphires, Large Opals, Arcane Crystals, Huge Emeralds and Azerothian Diamonds. About half of the time you'll get one of the more precious gems along with a Star Ruby.
When leveling up Jewelcrafting, the two gems best used between 255 and 300 are Star Rubies (Ruby Pendant of Fire) and Blue Sapphires (Sapphire Pendant of Winter Night). Since you'll be looking to make Thorium Settings, this makes Thorium the more optimal choice. Not only this, but you can also make some of the higher level items with the other more precious gems you find.
Miners under 270 should look in places like the Blasted Lands and Burning Steppes for Small Thorium Veins. Miners 270+ can nab tons of Small and Rich Thorium Viens in Un'Goro and Eastern Plaguelands. You'll also be running across the occasional Mithril Vein as well for more Star Rubies.
Un'Goro is the best place to farm IMHO. Run along the outer rim of the zone, making sure to check the small areas located in the hills. Every time you pass by the Tainted Scar, make sure to head inside for Ooze Covered Thorium Veins, which generally have more Thorium than the usual node. Cut through the center of the zone once in a while, since there may be some small veins here and there.

You can usually get this from Mithril Veins ( Mining ). It drops quite alot and is good for engineering & Jewelcrafting
Get a ton of these from prospecting Mithril. Just from the ore I got while skilling up my mining, I ended up with 40 Star Rubies. Definitely the way to go if you need them.

Blizzard describes Forever as vanilla World of Warcraft plussed up: its story sits in year one, characters level to 60 and stay there, and it launches November 4, 2026. Blizzard has not said which vanilla items appear in Forever, so nothing here is a Forever claim; it is the Classic Era record for Star Ruby next to the live retail market on this page.
