Hit me with the cells pattern in the foloowing scene from the short code contest:
//Title: Pure Fun 225 bytes
#macro C(c,d) //pigment and  color map  macro
  crackle color_map{[0 rgb.3*c][.5 rgb 1-d]}
#end

plane{z,4
  pigment{cells
    pigment_map{[0 C(z,x)][.3 C(y,x)][.8 C(x,y)][1 C(y,z)]}
    turbulence<15,50,20>// very big turbulence
    scale 4
    warp{repeat-x flip x}}// acts as a mirrow
  finish{ambient 1}//chang ambient to -1 to see whats reflected
  translate<9,7,0>} //moves the whole plane to
                    //adjust whats refelected
                    //the z value has to be >-4
