Ore

Ores (also called gems) are items introduced in.

Once per day, an Ore Rock will spawn somewhere in town. When the player strikes the Ore Rock with a shovel or axe, the rock will break open to reveal a random gem or ore. When the player strikes the Bell rock with the silver shovel, gems and ores may appear in increasing rarity, instead of Bells appearing in increasing value.

Ores can be sold or used at Re-Tail to customize pieces of furniture. In addition, Cyrus can create a random piece of furniture from the Golden Series using 3 Gold Ores and 10,000 bells.

Ores are also found in, appearing in Shovelstrike Quarry. Types of ore that can be obtained include gold, silver, ruby, and sapphire. They can be sold for Bells or used for crafting.

Customizing furniture
By giving a furniture piece along with an ore to Cyrus, he can create custom, sparkling furniture that is dependent on the color of the ore being used. Once given a piece of furniture and an ore of the appropriate color, the two items will be combined leaving only a single item in the player's inventory. Both the furniture item and the ore must already be in the player's inventory when initiating the dialogue with Cyrus. Offer him one of the pieces of furniture listed below while possessing the corresponding color of ore. This will automatically trigger a dialogue where Cyrus will offer to use the ore to customize the item. Cyrus will also offer the option to use the normal color customization options if the player prefers. Below are the furniture series and colors of ore that will trigger the dialogue when asking to customize furniture at Re-Tail.
