Deepslate Redstone Ore
Deepslate Redstone Ore is the deep-cave variant of redstone — glows when stepped on and drops the same dust as the surface form.

Description
Deepslate Redstone Ore generates between y=−64 and y=15, with the highest density around y=−59. Below the regular stone redstone band, this variant is now the most common source of redstone dust in the Overworld. The block retains the iconic property of its predecessor: it lights up and emits red particles when a player or mob walks across it, briefly making the cave wall a temporary light source — useful as a lazy night-light in extended mining tunnels.
An iron pickaxe is the minimum required tool. Mining yields four to five redstone dust per block, with bonus rolls under Fortune. Dust is the lifeblood of every circuit in the game: it conducts power, transmits signals, and combines into repeaters, comparators, observers, dispensers, droppers, pistons, and clocks. Silk Touch returns the ore intact, useful for collectors who want the glowing block as a decorative element.
