In, while gold ore (now known as gold nuggets) remains and are rarely found from rocks or balloons, other ores are removed from the game and are replaced by stone, clay, and iron nuggets.

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.
