Geo Tortoises

This mob would spawn rarely in caves. It would have three different types, redstone, lapis, and coal. You could tell the Tortoises apart because they would have the said ore growing from their shell. In order to breed the Tortoise you would use the ore on there back. Like turtles they would spawn an egg but in stone instead of sand. After the baby is hatched unlike a scute it would drop the two of ore on its back. Breeding two types of tortoises would not work because tortoises only consume the ore on there back. Tortoises would be peaceful mobs and would drop nothing on death. The reasons why I think this mob should be added are as follows, They fit Minecrafts overall aesthetic, they would make caves more interesting, and they would add a fun way to farm said ores.

    They should come in all ore types.

    I think that would be too overpowered, imagine if you could essentially duplicate diamonds? The reasons why I choose coal, lapis, and redstone, is because it would give a unique way to farm those items. I mean you can farm redstone through witch farms but they too most minecrafters are to hard to make. Iron and gold farms already exist and are very simple to create. This would be a nice simple alternative to witch farms and would also produce a new method to farm coal, and lapis.
