A dragon's egg... and when reading your subject, I initially thought (or 
better, hoped!) you tried to render the same-named neutron star of the 
cheela!

That would be a cool project... but I would postpone it until I acquired 
reliable knowledge of spectral rendering, as to humans, the Egg is 
white-hot at about 9000 K, and any features on its surface are only 
discernible when viewed through cheela eyes!

See you in Khyberspace!
