I'm suggesting a new type of items: Ruby. They're mined from ore and the texture for ore is the same as old red emerald texture of 12w21a. The icon for ruby gem is same as first ruby texture.
The texture for ruby ore.
A wall of ruby ores.
What can ruby be used for? 9 of them can be crafted into Ruby Block. It's same as emerald block but it's red. Rubies can be used to craft tools and armor, which is between iron and diamond. Rubies mine faster than iron but slower than diamond. It can mine obsidian but takes a bit longer.
Rubies are rarer than lapis lazuli but less rare than diamonds.
There are a total of 7 ores already. Coal, Iron, Gold, Redstone, Lapis Lazuli, Diamond and Emerald. Let's make Ruby the 8th ore.
Really, did you just wait a few months for all the other suggestion that are the EXACT same as this to get blocked before you posted this??

NO MORE TOOL TIERS.
I like the idea of a ruby block and ore . not sure abou the tools. Probably not. The only reason I want the ore and block is because it' adds to the building aspect of minecraft just like how Redpower and mods that have more ores do.
Hmmm.... You normally wouldn't make your clothes and pickaxes out of the most valuable gemstones in the world.
That's why emeralds are only used for trading, and nothing else.
Suggesting a new tier of tools is nothing new. Making it between Iron and Diamond is not new either. Please search before posting.
