Matching Ores for Grimstone, and Just Grimstone Caves

Hi! In the latest snapshot, we were introduced to Grimstone - a special ore that spawns deeper underground.

Ores have also gotten a re-skin, which I think is nice. However, in these deeper Grimstone caves, normal ores just look out of place.

I have a simple suggestion - Remove andesite/diorite/granite from generating in these Grimstone caves, and make special grimstone-variants of the ores. Otherwise, caves look even uglier.

I also think Grimstone should be lightened up a little bit, to match with caves more; it currently looks too much like Blackstone.

    I agree with the ores, looks really odd.  Perhaps it can be called "Enriched Grimstone" like "Diamond Enriched Grimstone" or maybe have a mechanic so ore can blend with other stone-like blocks (andesite/diorite/granite)

    I think the color of the grimstone itself is good but it would be neat to have a transition block for it to blend with stone better. For the moment, using Tuff to replicate this works to an extent:

    Im interested in same question. And i have good idea. You know water or grass have different texture in different biome. What if do same thing to the ore, like if the ore below those coordinates just had different texture, but in inventory is same.
