Good day, I had originally made this a smaller suggestion, but with a sort-of working image, I think I can move it here, especially considering it may have some use. To the point: Redstone and Coal blocks.
The texture would be similar to that of lapis blocks. A friend Mazzer54321 put together an image of them, which I certainly approve of:
I think the coal block should have just a little more contrast between the light and dark components. As you can see, they're similar in texture to lapis because they are smooth but not homogenous, which is an interesting feature Lapis blocks have.
Althought I don't believe coal blocks should have too much a use (putting it in a furnace certainly seems like a good idea, but it would either make coal OP or UP, take your pick).
The redstone block, however, I feel may have a use, but it's not something finite yet. The redstone block, when powered could give a wireless signal in a 5x5 (flat) area around it. The only thing I can't work out is how to prevent it from powering itself from the signal, but I'm sure that can be tweaked out.
In any case, please feel free to give me your opinions!

Ep!Creations updated the picture so there's a bit more contrast between light and dark colors on the coal block:

Enderpearls need more uses! Go to http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1584591-ender-dust/ to fix that!
I've always wanted a red block and a better way to store my coal. This would be very welcome and; why not?
It looks very good!
