When getting a house, it'd be really cool if you could take a certain amount of ore and 'plant' it to create kind of a Japanese stone garden. Just to have something for those of us that don't care about those silly things called 'plants'
=)
If the "small shiny object with no intrinsic value" were used as litter art decor, could that be considered a stone garden? Well, they don't stack, but I think it's the closest thing to a stone garden.

I'm not much of a miner but I really like this idea.
And I too would love some more decor options for my garden, I've taken to putting bushels of grain all over the place. XD
