Lack of photons isn't the issue; the quartz is just too perfectly 
glassy. It's not uncommon for it to have cloudy parts or other 
imperfections; check out some photos (there are many online).

Of course, changing that might be more work than you want to put in, 
especially when I did identify it. ;p

Also, is it using the IOR of quartz? (I don't remember the number 
offhand, although I remember it being quite a bit higher than glass, and 
it probably wouldn't make a big difference.. but it probably should use 
quartz IOR, regardless.)
