Currently in 1.17 there is 1 type of Geode, an Amethyst Geode. This idea is to add a new Geode that also brings back an old mineral, the Ruby.
Part 1: Generation
Ruby Geodes would generate just like Amethyst Geodes with Tuff & Calcite. The inside though would be filled with Blocks of Rubies & Budding Rubies. From Budding Rubies would grow Rubies. They come in 4 sizes that can be mined with silk touch. Once it grows to a full Ruby Cluster when mined without Silk Touch it would drop a Ruby.
Part 2: Ruby Uses
The Ruby would have two main uses. Taking 1 Ruby, 1 Redstone Lamp, 1 Glass & 6 Iron it would create a new block known as a Lens Flair. The Lens Flair would be a mini beacon without the effects. The beam it produces would be red and can travel 15 blocks. The Lens Flair can be rotated in any direction. The Lens Flair also needs to be redstoned powered to activate.
The second use would be a Lens Focus. Taking 1 Ruby & 2 Copper Ingots you can create a Lens Focus. This would look somewhat like a Lightning Rod. It can be placed on any side on a block and is directional like a mob head. When a Lens Flair Beam goes through it it will extend the beam. Also depending on the direction of the Lens Focus it would change the direction of the beam.
