Igneo Pebblits are the baby version of Igneo Talus. They are usually found in groups so if you ever encounter one alone, chances are you'll find the others lying around the same area.
Ore Deposits are found all over Hyrule but are commonly found in the mines in the Eldin Region. Destroy them with ideally a Hammer-type weapon and you may get Ruby.
Their locations are in the table below.
