When I originally designed the Labyrinth, I planned to use lab-created rubies. I ordered 100 of them (minimum order qty) and they were not as red in color as I would have liked, so I built 20 of them and shelved them - they’ve been sitting in my safe since 2015. I originally planned to release 250 Labyrinths with rubies, so these have serials 01/250 through 20/250 and are dated 2015. There are and will only be these 20 in existance though.
Lab-created rubies are identical chemically, physically and optically to natural rubies, and this process allowed me to get the precise spherical shapes I needed. I ordered them from Meller Optics:

These two separate auctions are for serials 13 and 15, and will be the last of these bars I sell here on the forum. (Serials 12 and 14 will be auctioned on eBay following this auction, and will be the last two of these bars available)
Please bid on each or multiple items individually. 15 auction ends one hour after the 13 auction.

https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?iso=20180406T14&p0=770&font=cursiveThe auction end times, i.e. 1pm Pacific and 2pm Pacific will coordinate with the official bitcointalk clocks hour/second hand, and not the countdown timers. Sniping: No, the auctions will end at the times stated above
unless there is a bid placed in the final 5 minutes of either auction.
If a bid is placed within the final 5 minutes of the auction, the new auction end time will be 5 minutes after the last bid. (i.e. if a bid is placed at 12:57pm, the new auction end time is 1:02pm) The auction end time will then extend 5 minutes ad infinitum until no new, valid bid has been placed for 5 minutes.
