this should also work:


difference{
        box{<0,107,0>,<233,300,36> }
        box{<-100,233,-100>,<197,500,100>}
        box{<-100,  0,-100>,<197,197,100>}

        // Tinted blue crystal
        pigment { rgbf<0.8,0.8,1,0.9> }
        material { M_Glass3 }
        interior { Glass_Interior }
        finish { Glass_Finish }

        translate <-143,10,-18>

        rotate <0,clock,0>
}
