Adding amethist and copper to armor via smithing table

With the new caves and cliffs update amethist and copper will be added to the game, however i fear that these ores will have limited one time use and will make them feel like not worthwhile additions, in a similar note, right now the smithing table doesnt have a very deep mechanic just making diamond armor into netherite armor.

However what if we could add this new ores into our armor (iron, gold, diamond and netherite) and they would boost a little bit their durability and add a sort of permanent enchantment into the armor while changing it slightly visually.

Lets say that by adding amethist to my iron boots i could walk slightly faster ore maybe redduce projectile damage  and with copper it could be a protection boost. This would make these ores more useful along with the uses mojang already has planned for them, and better this would all be done via smithing table so that it finally has a propeer complete use.

Note: this could also work with future new ores like amethist and copper

  Amethyst, I'm sure it would be good for upgrading the armor but Copper i don't think so.

  They even could add more geodes/gemstones that have specific "enchantments" tied to them. Ones that dont exist or would be too overpowered or unique if they werent mutually exclusive. For example, sapphires could be added to your boots and when walking on lava you could turn it to stone like you were a water block and on a tool could give it a faster speed when underwater. Adding an emerald or emerald block to armor could give you a discount with villagers. Amber could be used on tools to slow down enemies when hit with a tool. Copper or a redstone block could give make the player give a redstone signal when they walk

  I think there should be a gem for each color that isn't Yellow, light blue, Lghish green or white because of ores that are already there.  Amethyst ore should be very shiny!
