Ore
Ores (also called gems) are items introduced in Animal Crossing: New Leaf.
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.
List of ores
Name | Value |
---|---|
Silver nugget | 3,000 Bells |
Gold nugget | 4,000 Bells |
Amethyst | 2,000 Bells |
Sapphire | 2,000 Bells |
Emerald | 2,000 Bells |
Ruby | 2,000 Bells |
Customizing Furniture
By giving a furniture piece to Cyrus combined with a crystal you can receive custom furniture that reflects the ore you give him. When you give Cyrus one piece of customizable furniture that is compatible with ore (with them in your inventory) he will ask if you want normal color options or if you want it to be customized using the ore.
