Is Ruby Crystal Gold Efficient?
Gold efficiency compares what an item's stats would cost if you bought them in basic items (Long Sword for attack damage, Amplifying Tome for ability power and so on) with the item's price. Ruby Crystal's stats are worth 400 gold for a price of 400: 100%. Above 100% the stats alone are worth more than the item costs; the passive and active come on top and are not priced. The LoL items list ranks every item this way.
