This is a typical Conan Doyle enigma. The word carbuncle now is generally used in the medical field to describe a type of puss-filled infection under the skin. The carbuncle gemstone from that time is most generally attributed as a red garnet because the word carbuncle means red in gemology. Garnet stones could be almost any color except blue until the first one was found in the 1990s (a century after 'The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle' was published) while they still have not been found in China. The chemical elements that make the sapphire blue, titanium and iron, make the garnet black, but the chemical element that makes the newly discovered garnets blue is vanadium. In related notes, there is not, nor ever was, a British noblewoman titled the Countess of Morcar while there is no Amoy River in China, but Amoy is the former name of an island city on China's east coast today known as Xiamen.
In "The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle" by Arthur Conan Doyle, one notable simile compares the blue carbuncle to "a little blue star" reflecting its brilliance and rarity. A metaphor is found in Holmes’ description of the case itself as a "quarrel" between fate and a man, illustrating the theme of chance and consequences in the story. These literary devices enhance the narrative by deepening the reader's understanding of the characters and the significance of the gemstone.
At the end of "The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle," James Ryder is confronted by Sherlock Holmes regarding the theft of the blue carbuncle. Rather than turning him in to the authorities, Holmes decides to let Ryder go, believing he has learned a valuable lesson from his actions. Ryder is filled with remorse and is given a chance to reform, as Holmes feels that punishing him would not benefit anyone. Thus, Ryder is allowed to escape justice, reflecting Holmes's belief in mercy and second chances.
Most scholars agree that the case began upon the second morning after Christmas in the year 1889.
