1739. Anas narrated: “The Prophet ﷺ had a ring made of silver and a stone (Faṣṣ) was Ethiopian.”[1] (Sahih) He said: There are narrations on this topic from Ibn ‘Umar, and Buraidah. [Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ Gharīb from this route.
١٧٣٩ - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ ، عَنْ يُونُسَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: «كَانَ خَاتَمُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ وَرِقٍ» وَكَانَ فَصُّهُ حَبَشِيًّا. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، وَبُرَيْدَةَ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ.

[1] The meaning of Faṣṣ is either what has the name of its owner engraved on it, or a stone. It was called “Ethiopian” because it was mined in Ethiopia. See Tuhfat Al-Ahwadī.
The Hadith shows that the stone in the Prophet's ring (probably agate) was from Ethiopia. However, the next chapter tells us that only the engraving on the silver in the ring was made after the Ethiopian model. It is also possible that at times it was from silver while at others it was of stone or agate (Tuhfat Al-Ahwadhi, v.3, p. 50)
