[[File:NL Ores.jpg|thumb|An ore rock after being hit in {{NL|nolink}}]]
'''Ores''' (also called '''gems''' or '''minerals''') are items introduced in {{NL}}. They are colorful crystals that spawn from rocks when struck with a [[shovel]] or [[axe]].
__TOC__

==Appearances==
===In {{NL|short|nolink}}===
In {{NL}}, one ore rock spawns in town each day. When hit with a shovel it will shatter, revealing either an {{I|amethyst|NL}}, {{I|emerald|NL}}, {{I|gold nugget|NL}}, {{I|ruby|NL}}, {{I|sapphire|NL}}, or {{I|silver nugget|NL}}.

If a [[money rock]] is hit with a {{I|silver shovel|NL}}, there is a 20% chance that ore will come out of the rock instead of Bells.

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 three gold ores and 10,000 Bells.

===In {{PC|short|nolink}}===
Minerals are also found in {{PC}}, appearing in [[Shovelstrike Quarry]]. Types of minerals that can be obtained include gold, silver, ruby, and sapphire. Collecting these minerals in the Shovelstrike Quarry rewards Bells and [[crafting]] materials.

===In {{NH|short|nolink}}===
In {{NH}}, while gold nuggets remained and are rarely found from rocks or balloons, other ores are removed from the game and are replaced by stone, clay, and iron nuggets. Gold nuggets can now be used to craft golden tools if the player achieves requirements to earn DIY recipes, as well as items from the Golden Series.

==Customizing furniture==
===In {{NL|short|nolink}}===
[[File:NL Emerald Dye on Desk.jpg|thumb|right|A [[Modern Series]] item made using an emerald ore]]
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.
