I think it would be a good idea to make material rarity one of the site's official pages, instead of as a blog post. I was meaning to do it, but for some reason never got around to it. I've actually been collecting data about it for quite some time. Mrob27's page is great, because it is very technical and accurate. My data is a little more touchy-feely because basically I was just counting the number of times I came across the various ores. I also kept track of the number of blocks in each deposit so I could figure out an average deposit size. I'll try to post my data here tomorrow, then you can decide how or if you want to use it.
